Warner Music Group (US)


Warner Music
is the world's #3 music group, with labels including Atlantic, Elektra and Sire.
It has established a reputation as a pioneer in the marketing of digital music,
and in 2008 Atlantic was the first major label in the world to generate more
than half its sales from digital products.
Previously part of the mammoth
Time Warner media behemoth, the company began
investigating ways of strengthening itself in the face of falling record sales
in 2000.
That year, the group made efforts to outmanoeuvre its rivals by agreeing to merge with UK competitor EMI,
but the deal was vetoed by EC regulators. As the state of the industry
worsened over the following years, talks started with Bertelsmann's BMG and
again with EMI in
2003. In the end, however, Warner went independent, after Time Warner
agreed to sell it to a consortium headed by former Seagram boss Edgar Bronfman.
Merger talks with EMI reopened once more in 2006 but again failed to get
anywhere. In a surprise change of strategy, the group put itself up for sale in 2011 and was acquired by billionaire Len Blavatnik for $3.3bn.
