Congratulations everyone!
The rules: Since we are awarding chart success in creative production, we are counting the work of A&R teams from individual companies. Two or more labels in the same overall company under one direction are counted together. Different, autonomous A&R teams from different company locations are counted separately. Finally if a given CD is simultaneously released by two different labels, it is credited to the label that has it in the greater number of territories. The eligible period is 10/2009 through 9/2010.
Special thanks to Johannes Theurer, World Music Charts Europe, for compiling the list.
The artwork (CD) for the framed Award piece was created by Frank de la Barrera (Cuba/Germany).
