RCA
RCA Records (formerly legally traded as the RCA Records Label)[3] is an American record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America. It is one of Sony Music’s four flagship labels, alongside RCA’s former long-time rival Columbia Records; also Arista Records, and Epic Records. The label has released multiple genres of music, including pop, classical, rock, hip hop, afrobeat, electronic, R&B, blues, jazz, and country. Its name is derived from the initials of its defunct parent company, the Radio Corporation of America[4] (RCA). It was fully acquired by Bertelsmann in 1986, making it a part of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG); however, RCA Records became a part of Sony BMG Music Entertainment, a merger between BMG and Sony Music, in 2004, and was acquired by the latter in 2008, after the dissolution of Sony BMG and the restructuring of Sony Music. It is the second-oldest record label in American history, after sister label Columbia Records.
As of September 2019, artists signed to RCA Records include Christina Aguilera, A$AP Rocky, Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus, Dave Matthews Band, Craig David, Foo Fighters, Becky G, G-Eazy, Childish Gambino, Martin Garrix, Buddy Guy, H.E.R, Enrique Iglesias, Kesha, Alicia Keys, Khalid, Normani, Pentatonix, Pink, Mark Ronson, Shakira, Britney Spears, SZA, Bryson Tiller, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Walk the Moon, and ZAYN.
