JINGLE SELLS: HOLIDAY MARKETSHARE
Capitol Music Group leads early December's holiday marketshare, comfortably out front with 14.2%, thanks to classic albums by Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.
In second place is RCA with 10.1%, driven by contemporary holiday hitmakers Pentatonix—who have multiple albums charting—and Kelly Clarkson.
Anchored by Christmas juggernaut Mariah Carey, Columbia is close behind at 9.9%. It ranks second in streaming.
Interscope (Gwen Stefani), UMG Nashville (Carrie Underwood, Brenda Lee), Legacy (Phil Spector, Gene Autry) and Warner (Michael Bublé, Dolly Parton) round out the Top 7.
