.UMG executives, artists and retail partners gathered for the label’s annual “Universal Inside” event
, UMG’s CEO and president for Central Europe and Deutsche Grammophon, opened the festivities with a keynote focusing on “growth of the markets, the company and the potential for development.”
Universal Music and its artists were also successful in the physical segment, Briegmann noted. In just three months, sales of hard rock group Rammstein's current studio album reached about three quarters of the number the band’s last album sold over ten years. "Numerous successful campaigns have helped increase the catalogue sector by an average of 60 percent with our retail partners,” he noted. “This success is in marked contrast to the general trend in the market.
"What this success shows is that, not only did we increase our charts-market share, we also contributed significantly to the strong overall growth of the market."
