Sony Music Publishing has achieved the numero uno spot at the prestigious Hot 100 Songs. The publisher’s ranking has put them in the number one spot for the period spanning between 1st January to 1st April. Universal Music Publishing Group has dethroned the company on Top Radio Airplay after it has reigned there for 13 quarters consecutively.

‘Drivers License’ by Olivia Rodrigo has dominated the chart of the Hot 100 Songs and she along with her co-writer Daniel Dan Leonard Nigro has been tied at the top of the songwriters ranking list. ‘Mood’ by 24KGoldn’s that also features iann dior has been there at the number one spot as Kobalt and UMPG have controlled the stakes in the track. Finneas Baird O’Connell by Kobalt popularly known as FINNEAS has been on the top spot as the writer on the Top Radio Airplay and it has got stakes in two tracks in ‘Lonely’ by Benny Blanco and Justin Bieber and also ‘Therefore I Am’ by Billie Eilish, his sister.

Top Radio Airplay of UPMG has got the lead that reflects in the fact that it has got an increased market share and stands at 22.59% which is more from its previous share of 20.56% and it has increased from 55 tracks to 58 tracks and also includes ‘34+35’ by Ariana Grande. The publisher ranked second on Hot 100 Songs and it earned a market share of 22.64% with a total of 58 tracks and it also includes ‘Blinding Lights’ by The Weeknd at the number 2 position.

But there are speculations that the calculations for the market share could change the rankings in both charts. But the rankings cannot be altered as both UMPG and Sony are in dispute with the shares of Harry Fox Agency that are specifically assigned for Young Thug and Brown’s ‘Go Crazy’.
