Concord Music Publishing has had an incredible run across the pond recently, this week celebrating its third consecutive #1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart with Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving, co-written and produced by Zach Nahome. Dean’s single “Man I Need” reached #1 in the UK after seven weeks consecutively in the top three and continues to grow around the world. 2025 signing and long time Ed Sheeran collaborator Johnny McDaid scored yet another #1 for their partnership with PLAY, Sheeran’s ninth #1 album. Beloved Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro hit #1 for the fourth time in their decades-long history with their critically acclaimed tenth album, Futique. These successes are a testament to the talent and artistry of Concord writers and we are proud to recognize their wins. 👏

I had a great time speaking and attending All That Matters earlier this week in Singapore, amongst some of the biggest names in music, sports, marketing, gaming, Web3, and AI. It is an exciting time of growth and global expansion at Concord . Thank you Lars Brandle for joining me in conversation and Branded for having me.

Music revenues in the US and Europe have become more stable, trust in the music market is strengthening among investors, and new technology is empowering artists to find and connect with global audiences. Next Tuesday, September 30th, our COO Victor Zaraya will join Lars Brandle in conversation at All That Matters Singapore, which brings together the biggest names in music, sports, marketing, gaming,Web3, and AI. The two will discuss the implications for independent music in an increasingly international environment. More information here: https://lnkd.in/g-x--pAF

The Concord family has been global! 🌎 Over the last couple of weeks our team members have been all around the world participating in great industry conversations and sharing knowledge. Conversations spanned the business of catalog investments, increasing value for artists, and breaking barriers in Americana music. We love to see our family participating in these necessary conversations and look forward to the coming months for even more at All That Matters in Singapore and MONDO.NYC. Thank you Reeperbahn Festival, Financial Times, MMF (Music Managers Forum), and Americana Music Association

"Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery” tells the untold story of the groundbreaking music festival featuring only women artists, started by iconic Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan (Concord Records) and her team in the late 1990s, in opposition to systematic industry barriers that limited women from playing together on a concert bill and getting back-to-back airplay on the radio. The documentary reunites and features interviews from original Lilith Fair artists Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Paula Cole, Jewel, Mýa, Natalie Merchant, The Indigo Girls, and Emmylou Harris and a new generation of artists who have carried the torch including Brandi Carlile and Olivia Rodrigo, among others. As the film celebrates the festival’s groundbreaking legacy and impact, it also confronts the backlash that tried to diminish it and explores what Lilith means in today’s world. The documentary will be available to stream in the U.S. this Sunday, 9/21 on Hulu.
