Music Week Awards Sales Team champions Warner on Gen Z buying vinyl, Ed Sheeran and Madonna’s return
- From MusicWeek.com:
Warner Music UK was victorious in the Sales Team category at the Music Week Awards 2026, an award that recognises the increasing complexity and ambition in how labels reach fans at physical and digital retail, combining creativity with data-driven insights on cohesive sales campaigns.
Talking to Natasha Billing – SVP, revenue & growth at Warner Music UK – the magazine asked her what the team is building up towards at the moment.
PinkPantheresss is doing an amazing job [with Stateside], and is just lasting and lasting – that has seen propulsive momentum. We’ve got the Madonna campaign [Confessions II, out July 3], which is super-exciting and playing out in a really exciting, dynamic way, driven by [an artist] who has an amazing creative vision.
Does it feel like the moment is right for Madonna’s return with a new record?
Yeah, I think so. It’s an album that’s really joyous, that celebrates everything that makes music so energising, special and emotionally exciting. She’s always been really good at telling that story, and I think this is a fantastic manifestation of that.
And the campaign has already started with a hit on Bring Your Love with Sabrina Carpenter…
Yeah, absolutely. Her collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter is just a meeting of the clans across time, which I think is a beautiful, creative moment.
