From Reuters:
"Our expectation when we did the deal with Bad Boy was to break one new artist every 18 months and to reintroduce P. Diddy," said Warner Music Executive Vice President Kevin Liles this week. "He's broken three new artists this year so it's over our expectation, but still under what we know he can do."
Warner Music does not break down revenue from its various labels, but SoundScan sales data show that the company's labels collectively accounted for an 18.7 percent share of the urban music sector in the year to date. In 2005, their share of that market was 13.8 percent.
While Combs cannot claim all the credit for Warner's resurgence in the hip-hop/R&B; genre, analysts said Bad Boy was having a halo effect on other labels within the Warner group.

The 8/30/06 SoundScan numbers are in. Danity Kane sold 234,341 to be exact, bringing their total to 234,622. They are the top selling album of the week, as I said earlier.

It�s nice to know someone at Warner Music Group � aside from Edgar Bronfman Jr. � even has $18 million. Currently the company has five albums on the charts, none of them selling very well.
Only two are from Warner; the others come from Atlantic Records. And two of those come from Sean 'Diddy' Combs� Bad Boy Entertainment.
What?! If Cassie and (especially) New Joc City aren't/haven't sold well, not a heck of a lot has. New Joc City has had very solid sales, now over 600,000 units. Cassie has moved just over 140,000 in 2 weeks. Not as impressive as Joc, but still, a good debut.
In the video below, you'll see Bad Boy songwriter Jack Knight how to write a hit song. Toward the end of the video, you'll see a performance from Bad Boy artist Shannon.
