Record labels
Record labels are companies that manufacture and distribute recorded music. There are two types of record labels: major labels, which are large corporations like Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and EMI; and independent labels. Major labels are massive corporations that employ thousands of people worldwide and generate multi-billion dollar annual revenues through promoting and distributing music.
Record labels
The four major record labels that dominate the music industry are Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and EMI Group. Each label owns many subsidiary companies that allow them to control a large share of the music market. Universal Music Group is the largest label and is headquartered in California, while Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and EMI Group are headquartered in New York and London. The labels represent many popular artists across various music genres.
Major vs indie complete
Major labels such as Sony Music Entertainment own the majority of the global music market. They have significant financial resources that allow them to widely distribute, market, and sign new talent. However, major labels have a long corporate approval process. Independent labels like Roughtrade lack the distribution abilities of major labels but have more flexibility in their operations. They can be more creative in finding and developing new artists as well as adopting new media technologies. Roughtrade was founded in 1976 and helped launch the careers of influential punk bands in the late 1970s. It is now part of the Beggars Group and continues to specialize in genres like punk, indie pop, and post-punk.
Music labels
Universal Music Group is the largest music corporation in the world, owning labels like Island Def Jam and operating out of California and other global locations. It has a long history originating from Decca Records and has acquired many other labels. Warner Music Group is the third largest global record company and owns labels like Warner Bros and Atlantic, starting as the music label of Warner Bros studio. Sony BMG was a joint venture between Sony Music and Bertelsmann Music Group that merged their labels until Sony bought out Bertelsmann's share and it became Sony Music Entertainment.

The sound recording industry has evolved from Thomas Edison's phonograph in the 1870s to today's digital music market, with major developments including the impact of radio in the 1920s, the rise of the record industry in the post-WWII era, and more recently the transition to digital formats and services. The industry is dominated by a handful of large companies and follows a standard model with departments for talent acquisition, production, distribution, promotion and other functions. New business models have also emerged like licensing music for use in other media and 360 deals that provide a percentage of artists' total revenue.
Music institutions
Warner Music Group is one of the "Big Three" global music corporations headquartered in New York City. It owns major record labels like Warner Bros Records and Atlantic Records. Universal Music Group is the largest of the "Big Three" and owns labels like Interscope Records, Island Records, and Republic Records. Sony Music Entertainment is the third largest and owns Columbia Records, RCA Records, and Syco Music. These corporations and their labels control much of the music industry but new platforms like iTunes, YouTube, and SoundCloud allow independent and unsigned artists to distribute their music without a major label.
