Market Insights Snapshot
Good News concentrated 51.44% of September 2026 sales in Edible, with Edible up 26.94% year over year but down 3.03% month over month, while Vapor Pens held 35.76% share with a 5.69% year-over-year decline and a 1.07% month-over-month uptick; Pre-Roll accounted for 12.80% share, falling 12.07% year over year but rising 5.32% month over month. Despite an overall brand sales year-over-year increase of 7.53% alongside a 5.04% year-over-year price decrease, the category blend leans on Edible growth to offset softness in Vapor Pens and Pre-Roll, implying the mix is tilting toward lower-priced volume drivers as Good News holds the number 10 rank in Edible in Illinois.
The shift toward Edible scale (+26.94% YoY, -3.03% MoM) combined with marginal MoM recovery in Vapor Pens (+1.07% MoM, -5.69% YoY) and Pre-Roll (+5.32% MoM, -12.07% YoY) indicates Good News is consolidating around a single growth pillar while its two inhalable formats lag on a year-over-year basis; at the same time, the brand’s 5.04% YoY price decline alongside a 7.53% YoY sales rise points to volume-led gains rather than premium trading. This pattern implies near-term positioning as an Edible-led, value-leaning portfolio that can defend share through unit throughput, while the number 10 Edible rank in Illinois sets a ceiling unless Vapor Pens and Pre-Roll reverse their combined 17.76 percentage points of year-over-year contraction.
Competitive Landscape
Good News is ranked #10 in IL Edible in September 2026, moving up 4 positions from #14 year over year, while slipping 1 spot from #9 in June–August to #10 in September 2026; the brand’s peak was #9 in July 2026, indicating a 1-rank retreat from its high-water mark. In contrast, Incredibles advanced from #2 to #1 with a 19.5% year-over-year sales lift, and Wyld fell from #1 to #3 alongside an 8.0% sales decline, while Wana edged up from #3 to #2 with a 1.5% gain; this mix of competitor ascents and declines alongside Good News’s 4-rank annual climb but 1-rank recent pullback implies a mid-tier re-entry that is improving year over year but vulnerable to short-term share shifts near the top 10 threshold.
Notable Products
Day Off - CBD/THC 1:1 Peach Gummies 10-Pack (100mg CBD, 100mg THC) posted the steepest decline at -15.6% MoM while sitting at rank 5, whereas Counting Sheep - THC/CBN 2:1 Black Cherry Gummies 10-Pack (100mg THC, 50mg CBN) rose 7.2% MoM to anchor rank 3. The top two SKUs, Friyay - Sour Watermelon Gummies 10-Pack (100mg) at rank 1 with -6.4% MoM and Me Time - Indica Blue Raspberry Gummies 20-Pack (100mg) at rank 2 with -7.2% MoM, point to softening in core fruit-forward Edibles even as sleep-focused formulations edged up 12.5% and 7.2% MoM across ranks 7 and 3. With nine of the top ten in Edibles and only one Pre-Roll entry at rank 9, the mix implies Good News is leaning into gummy-led demand, with momentum concentrating in CBN sleep and away from daytime or caffeinated variants despite $139,738 from the top-ranked SKU.

Data for this report comes from real-time sales reporting by participating cannabis retailers via their point-of-sale systems, which are linked up with Headset’s business intelligence software. Headset’s data is very reliable, as it comes digitally direct from our partner retailers. However, the potential does exist for misreporting in the instance of duplicates, incorrectly classified products, inaccurate entry of products into point-of-sale systems, or even simple human error at the point of purchase. Thus, there is a slight margin of error to consider. Brands listed on this page are ranked in the top twenty within the market and product category by total retail sales volume.
