boasts of its best first half since parent company Bertelsmann returned to the music business with a new-look model in 2008. While the pandemic stymied growth in music publishing, BMG’s core business, a 29.4% uptick by recorded music carried the day for the fiscal period that ended June 30.
MRC Data reported unit-based growth of 13.5% for H1 in the U.S. in July; the revenue-based H1 summary from the Recording Industry Assn. of America won’t arrive until early next month.
