Record labels

If we were to become big and famous it is more than likely we would latch on to a record label. Preferably we would choose a record label in which would suit the band would help in gaining lots of profits. We would not want to choose an independant label because independant labels rarely go mainstream and earn lots of the money in which could be earned through the music business. There are four main institutions in which are the biggest and earn the most money. These are

Universal Music Group-

 EMI Group -

Sony BMG music entertainment -

Warner Music Group -

 All of these institutions are known as the big four and they are all the biggest in the music business and mainly branch through most genres. Most music you hear in the charts today have been signed by one of these big institutions therefore if we were looking to get signed we would want to be spotted by one of these. However it can be said that because Indie is a style in which is homegrown talent and made by themselves that we could get an independant label first. Also you dont see many indie bands in the big instituions as Indie is not that mainstream.
