Record Label Fact File:

Josie Waddington
• Formally owned by Time Warner, WMG was put on the stock
exchange and was sold to Access Industries in July 2011.
• The current CEO is Stephen Cooper.
• WMG was founded in 1958.
• Some of the artists signed include: the Arctic Monkeys, ABBA,
Beyoncé, Fleetwood Mac and Panic! At the Disco.
• There is a wide range of genres within the Warner Music Group, the
main ones being pop, indie, rock and punk.
• “Warner Music Group is a major music company with interests in
recorded music, music publishing and artist services”
• The Warner Music is one of the ‘big three’ meaning it is in the top 3
largest record label companies.
• Here is a link to their YouTube channel where they outline some of
the new artists in their company…

Success through time…
• In the past the future for the Warner Music Group has looked bleak
due to the decrease in the physical recording industry with more
people downloading music, be it legal or not. This meant that the
business was knocked down to half its peak and showed no signs of
improving yet as the streaming industry received a boom in success
the Warner Music Group managed to recover itself and adapt to the
changes. As result their revenue has increased this year by 13% to a
total of $770 million, back to the standards before they fell into the
black hole of the internet boom.
