Atlantic (#7 to #2), Interscope (#5 to #3), Capitol Doubles Share

Republic continues its #1 run as the overall label leader in Mediabase chart share for a fourth consecutive year. The 2017 chart year is based on the time period from November 13, 2016 through November 11, 2017.

In a very unique year, superstar artists began to collaborate with each other thus sharing chart spins and label share for individual songs. As a result, it brought some of 2017's most notable hits including:

? "Stay" by Zedd & Alessia Cara (Def Jam-Interscope) ? "It Ain't Me" by Kygo x Selena Gomez (Ultra/RCA-Interscope) ? "Unforgettable" by French Montana f/Swae Lee (Eardrum/BB/Interscope-Epic) ? "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" by ZAYN & Taylor Swift (UStudios/BMR/RCA-Republic) ? "Bad Things" by MGK x Camila Cabello (Bad Boy/Epic-Interscope) ? "Let Me Love You" by DJ Snake f/Justin Bieber (Def Jam-Interscope) ? "I'm The One" by DJ Khaled f/Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper & Lil Wayne (WTB/Def Jam-Epic)

All of these songs were major hits and many crossed multiple formats in 2017.

Of the 10 Mediabase formats that comprise overall rankings, Republic garnered the #1 spot at two formats: Top 40 and Rhythmic, was #2 at Hot AC, and #4 at AC.

Republic had a total overall chart share of 15.6%, a 23.0% Top 40 chart share, and an 18.3% Rhythmic chart share.
