Warner Chappell Music saw its market share of domestic repertoire rise to more than a third (33.64%) in Germany last year.
That domestic market share – a calculation of local and international repertoire based on single song sales and streaming as calculated by GfK – was nearly triple the annual figure that the Warner Music Group company posted in 2015 (12.34%).
These results, says Chappell, meant it was comfortably the No.1 domestic repertoire publisher in Germany in 2020 – some 10% ahead of nearest competitor Sony/ATV (now Sony Music Publishing), which ended the year with an equivalent market share of 23.81% (see below).
