6. Conclusion
•
•
•
From my research, I have gathered that Warner Music is one of
the top 3 record labels that own the industry. The other two are
Sony, and universal records.
The timing for starting a label was great, thanks to increasing
popularity of rock'n'roll music and pop music radio, and it didn't
take long for the Warner record label to become a going concern
in its own right.
Warner Music owns subsidiary labels such as atlantic records,
atco records,elektra records, rhino record and many more.
