No1 12" record label in the UK for the second year running(based on UK sales).

In their 10th year of existence Media Records has tightened its grip on the UK 12" market by achieving two massive market leading statistics:

* Number One 12" record company - Media Records with their Nukleuz, BXR UK, Beautiful & Frantic labels

* Number One 12" label - Nukleuz beating the likes of Positiva, MOS/DATA, NuLife, Defected & Tidy Trax by tens of thousands of records.

Media ended the year increasing its share of a dramatically falling market, and even though Media sold less than in 2001, it was far better than the average..This is all with no major crossover hits. The closest they came to a hit was DJ Nation " Nukleuz DJs" which made No 40 in the charts in August (coincidentally as a 12" only release).

Peter Pritchard, boss of both Media and Nukleuz says" I'm really proud to have done this 2 years in a row when the competition is so hot.This is really about knowing what people want, and doing it the best. Also, its nothing to do with hits, it's about real dance music for 12" buyers".
