Record Label Research

In the music industry, a record label is a brand and trademark image associated with the marketing and promotion of music recordings and productions and music videos. This is much like a the Vertical distribution of films. After considering my style of song and the particular genre, i believe that the type of record label would be a massive mainstream company which also has signed other artists similar to my own. I have researched other artists similar to my own to find out which record companies they are signed with to then have a starting point for research into which appropriate record company I could use.

Mariah Carey- Columbia, Virgin, Island

Rhianna- Def Jam, SRP, Roc Nation
Jennifer Lopez- Epic, Island, Work
Beyonce- Columbia
Alexandra Burke- Epic, RedOne, Syco, RCA, J
Cassie- NextSelection, Bad Boy, Atlantic
Sugababes- London, Island, RCA
Alesha Dixon- Polydor, Asylum, Atlantic
Alicia Keys- Columbia, Arista, J
Pussycat Dolls- A&M, Interscope

The main 5 recdord labels which had two or more artists in common were:

• Columbia
• Epic Records
