ON THE COVER: MONTE
AND AVERY LIPMAN
Republic’s ruling brothers are celebrating an absolutely stellar year, capped by a victory in the tight race for overall marketshare supremacy. Meanwhile, they’ve taken the current-marketshare prize by a wide margin. The superstar-heavy label’s extraordinary 2023 was led by Taylor Swift’s mind-blowing run and Morgan Wallen’s massive numbers, with big assists from Drake, Metro Boomin and BNA-nominated breakout Noah Kahan, among others. Not even this HITS cover appearance can break their stride.
