Record Label Market Share Q3 2024: Island Helps Power Republic as Interscope Makes Big Push


Record label market share in Q3 2024 has Sabrina Carpenter's Island helping power Taylor Swift’s Republic to No. 1, while Interscope saw huge gains.

The huge success of Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan — in addition to Taylor Swift's enduring power — sees Island help Republic maintain the top spot in the industry. And while Republic has receded slightly from the 15.72% it posted at midyear — when it outstripped the entire Warner Music Group — any label putting up a number higher than 15% is enjoying a massive year. The enduring success of Kendrick Lamar ’s “Not Like Us” — which will get a Super Bowl-sized bump early next year, too — and Billie Eilish ’s still-hot Hit Me Hard And Soft album helped Interscope become the only other label to reach higher than 10%.
