Warner Music Group Corp. Company Profile
These records were made to be listened to, not broken. Warner Music Group (WMG) is one of the largest recording companies in the world and ranks #3 in terms of US market share (behind Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment). It operates through two businesses: Recorded Music and Music Publishing. Its Recorded Music catalog includes best-selling albums The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 and Led Zeppelin IV. Its Music Publishing business holds more than one million copyrights. The company's traditional A&R (artist and repertoire) work of finding and developing artists has helped WMG score hits from musicians such as Green Day and Faith Hill. Thomas H. Lee Partners owns more than 35% of WMG.
