Not simply a source of exciting headlines, the Columbia Promotions team achieved measurable dominance at radio in 2022. According to Mediabase’s year-end report, Columbia led the way in overall radio with a 15.3% chart share. It fared particularly well at the Top 40/pop format, amassing an impressive 23.8%.

Up 40% from last year’s pop share, the tally dominantly ranked as the year’s best. RCA, the #2 label at pop, earned a 16.3% chart share in 2022.

Consistent with its share dominance, Columbia was behind five of the Top 10 songs at the format.

  1. Google pays a rate of $100 per hour. I most recently made $3500 for a 40-hour job week online. He averages 12,265 and works about 30 hours a week, according to my (jfn-22) younger brother’s friend. I’m amazed at how easy things used to be.
