2015 RADIO DISNEY MUSIC AWARDS PROVE MULTIPLATFORM STAYING POWER; MUSIC SALES GROW FOR FEATURED PERFORMERS

A generation of kids and tweens and their families continue to demonstrate familiarity with multiplatform viewing with the "2015 Radio Disney Music Awards," which, in its third year - and only its second year as a televised special - increased in consumer engagement across digital, radio and social media and blossomed to an international event with 14 telecasts on Disney Channels around the world. Since its Sunday, April 26 premiere and pre-show on Disney Channel and through twelve encore linear telecasts on Disney Channel and Disney XD, the music-focused special and its pre-show have reached a remarkable 11.9 million Total Viewers, 4.2 million Kids 6-11, 4.0 million Tweens 9-14 and 3.2 million Adults 18-49. Consumer engagement was also strong throughout the award voting process with 101 million votes tallied, an increase of 75% over last year.

SoundScan data shows that recording artists who performed on the special saw gains in Billboard music sales in the week following the awards telecast, including Billboard Top 200 Chart artists Sabrina Carpenter's "Eyes Wide Open" (+31%, Hollywood Records) and Fifth Harmony's "Reflection" (+20%, Epic Records). Likewise, Billboard Digital Singles Chart sales were significantly higher for Becky G's "Shower" (+93%, Kemosable/RCA Records), R5's "Smile" (+51%, Hollywood Records), Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" (+47%, Columbia Records) and Tori Kelly's "Nobody Love" (+43%, Capital Records).

iTunes sales increases were equally robust for Sabrina Carpenter's album "Eyes Wide Open" (+38%), R5's "Let's Not Be Alone Alright" (+23%) and "Smile" (+51%).

The 11.9 million reach does not include the WATCH Disney Channel on-demand audience, which since Sunday (11:00 p.m., ET) has attracted 129K unique visitors and 207K video starts on the popular app, which allows consumers to watch on tablets, phones, computers and set top boxes.
