Kobalt Named ASCAP Publisher Administrator of the Year and Independent Publisher of the Year at Music Week Awards (UK)

Kobalt Music Group, the leading global independent music services and music publishing company, has received top honors at two major annual music industry award ceremonies.

At the Music Week Awards held last week in London, Kobalt Music Group received the award for Independent Publisher of the Year for the fifth consecutive year. The winner of the award is determined by market share of the top 50 selling albums and top 100 single s of 2012 in the U.K.

At the ASCAP Pop Awards ceremony held last night in Los Angeles, Kobalt received the first ASCAP Publisher Administrator of the Year Award. The newly established award is given to the ASCAP publisher that administers the most ASCAP Pop Award-winning songs each year.

Kobalt clients took home ASCAP Pop Awards for 23 songs. Top honors were also given to client Max Martin for Songwriter of the Year and to client Prescription Songs for Independent Publisher of the Year.

During the evening Max Martin also received multiple ASCAP Pop Awards for seven songs including “Domino,” “One More Night,” “Part of Me,” “Scream,” “The One That Got Away,” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” and “Wide Awake.”

Additionally, Kobalt client Prescription Songs received ASCAP Independent Publisher of the Year. As the publishing company owned by Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald, Prescription Songs has a network of 17 songwriters including ASCAP Pop Award winners Katy Perry, Jessica Cornish and Henry Walter. Dr. Luke also received six ASCAP Pop Awards for the songs “Domino,” “Part of Me,” “The One That Got Away,” “Wide Awake,” “Good Feeling,” and “Where Have You Been.”
