Chrysalis hopeful of better second half

Chrysalis today said a string of upcoming releases from artists David Gray, Gnarls Barkley and Feeder would help offset a “weak” first half for the music group.

The firm, which recently sold its Heart and Galaxy radio business for €237m, said albums due out in the New Year, such as David Gray’s Greatest Hits, should keep profits on track to meet full-year forecasts.
