The Jon Platt-led company was up five percentage points over the previous quarter, hitting 23% of the market and landing 55 of the Top 100 radio songs. In addition, Warner/Chappell was the #1 country music publisher for the quarter.

Universal Music Publishing Group held the #2 spot overall for a second consecutive quarter with a 20.4% market share.

After 20 consecutive quarters at #1, Sony/ATV dropped to third place with an 18.7% market share.
