Record Labels - Majors/Independents

Record Labels
Majors and Independents


Similarly just like the film industry, the music industry is arguably dominated by a collection of Major companies. There are four major national Majors that dominate the music industry and they are:
  • Universal
  • Sony Music
  • Warner Music
  • EMI
Recently with EMI progressively coming through there are now only three major companies with the left over profit made by the independent companies. It is quite common now for most of these major companies to now own what is known as Major-Independnt companies. This enables the main conglomerates to obtain various audiences with various genres. Examples of these companies include Virgin, Syco and Columbia.
