Universal Music Publishing Group earned the top spot on the Hot 100 Songs publishers ranking for 2024’s second quarter with 27.97% of the market, in large part thanks to Taylor Swift and the 19 songs she landed on the chart. It didn’t hurt that her writing partner Jack Antonoff is also on UMPG’s roster.
(He moved there from Sony Music Publishing in August 2023.) Swift’s work accounted for a little over one-third of the 56 songs the publisher had on the Hot 100 during the quarter, up significantly from its 43-song count in the first quarter of the year. Sony Music Publishing, which typically places first on the Hot 100 publishers ranking, finished a close second with a 27.
13% market share and 57 tracks on the chart, including the No. 1 song for the second quarter, Tommy Richman ‘s “Million Dollar Baby.” Warner Chappell Music finished third with a 19.
87% market share. Its top second-quarter tune was “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey , one of 47 that it landed on the chart. Sony nevertheless remained at the peak of the Top Radio Airplay ranking for the 13th consecutive quarter, with a 27.
64% market share and 66 songs. Its No. 1 track was “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims , a song in which Warner Chappell and UMPG also have stakes.
