Warner/Chappell Music celebrated its highest ranking since Billboard began tracking the top publishers’ market share in 2006, but the top spot remained elusive as Sony/ATV increased its lead by nearly two percentage points in the third quarter of 2015, from 19.6 percent to 21.2 percent.*

Warner/Chappell came in with a strong 19.6 percent market share, up 0.2 percent from the previous quarter. The company had a stake in 49 of the top 100 tracks including The Weeknd‘s No. 1 “Can’t Feel My Face.”
Meanwhile, Universal Music Publishing Group tumbled to 10 percent after 11 consecutive quarters of posting market share in the range of 15 percent to 18 percent.
