Beyonce, 5H, Zayn, Sia Among Top Earning Sony Albums of 2016
Quote:
Sony Corporation has announced the Top 10 highest earning albums from the first quarter of 2016, and Adelaide native Sia came in at #6.
Quote:
This Is Acting came in behind releases from Fifth Harmony, Megan Trainor and Japanese artists Nogizaka46 and Kazumasa Oda.
But none could top the selling power of Beyonce’s surprise release on April 23. Her sixth studio album Lemonade was the highest selling LP for Sony in Q1, all despite its initial exclusive release on her husband’s streaming service, Tidal, and despite its absence from Apple Music and Spotify. In April, Music Business Worldwide noted Lemonade was bringing in US$3 million a day in its first week of sale based on downloads alone.
