Who are considered the 'Big 3' record labels, and how does Capitol Records compete?
The 'Big 3' record labels include:
- Sony BMG
- Universal Music Group
- Warner Music Group
These three record labels own nearly 80% of the music market. Since you are interviewing for Capitol Records, a sub-label of Universal Music Group, be prepared to discuss the other competition. How do they compete with each other to have the best talent in the music and entertainment industry?
"Sony BGM, Warner Music and Universal Music make up the 'Big 3' in the music industry. I believe that the best way Capitol Records and Universal competes with their competitors is to work hard to sign the worlds' most celebrated artists to their core label. This approach includes being competitive when it comes to what you offer the artist. Also, working hard to scout hot new talent is a significant factor in your ability to remain ahead of your competitors."
