Well, sorta.

I only mentioned it to highlight what a one-dimensional thinker you
are.

First of all, they have 10% of the ENTIRE radio market in the states,
but they have 50% of the POPULAR MUSIC stations in the country.

Not only that, they control a substantial proportion of the concert
seats in the US.

The synergy between those two markets (radio and concerts) well
exceeds the parts.

They are far and away the largest players in the game. There's NOBODY
that's even close. I maintain that makes them monolithic.
