Hits breaks down the market shares at the two-thirds mark (not your typical mile marker, but why not?).

Antonio Reid's Island Def Jam has the best share for new releases with 6.3%, down 0.3% from last year. But remember, Reid has a history of letting expenses run wild, so who knows what he spent to get there. Warner Bros Records is right behind with 6.2%, down 0.1%.

Here's the top ten labels:

1. Island Def Jam: 6.3% (down 0.3%)
2. Warner Bros: 6.2% (down 0.1%)
3. Atlantic: 5.0% (down 0.2%)
4. Columbia: 5.7% (up 0.1%)

9. Geffen: 3.1% (up 1.3%)
10. Jive/Zomba: 3.1% (up 1.1%)

And here are the market shares of the majors music groups. The doomsday predictions of the majors' demise couldn't be more premature. They account for 80.7% of the recorded music market, down a scant 0.5% from last year.
