Universal Music Group (US)


Universal Music Group is the world's biggest music company,
formed from the 1998 merger of European giant Polygram with the US-based
MCA/Universal portfolio. At the time it was the flagship entertainment arm of Canadian drinks company Seagram.
That group was in turn acquired, and the business is now owned by France's Vivendi. Its
labels include MCA, Motown, Polydor, Island and Def Jam. Key artists in 2009 and 2010 include Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Taylor
Swift and Justin Bieber, but the group also manages a huge catalogue of other current or past acts. In 2011, Universal made plans to get bigger still, through the acquisition of EMI's recorded music division for $1.9bn.
