Kylie, Coldplay and others are dropped from EMI as a result of the merger.
Bad move. Now there will be three major labels that will be able to sign and maintain cheaper talent. As a result of the merger, some big names-Kylie and Coldplay-among others, are dropped from the EMI library. Stupid ass Katy Perry remains. Unsure of the future of some UMG artists-including Roman Lob and Nina Zilli, who competed in this year's EUROVISION Song Contest. Keep in mind, EMI has the Pink Floyd and Beatles libraries as well. EMI also used to run a film unit (co-distributed Convoy and Highlander) and a TV unit that produced made for TV movies in the United States, but no television series.
I wonder what will happen to those released from EMI and Universal in the near future? Hopefully they'll go independent.
In my honest opinion, we're in for one super-major record label that will only sign and maintain cheaper talent in the next few years when Universal/EMI merges with Sony-Bertelsmann and WMG. Hopefully this will be the end of the major record labels as they all go bankrupt for good. Once and for all.
