In October 2024, Universal Music UK brought together two iconic music labels, Island and EMI Records, to create Island EMI Label Group. The new powerhouse label group is designed to help deliver our strategy to support artists from the wider Universal family, linking closely with US label partners including REPUBLIC Collective, and Interscope Capitol Labels Group.

Blending these labels brings Island's unique ethos of launching pioneering and influential global artists such as Amy Winehouse, Bob Marley, U2, Hozier and Lola Young, with EMI's illustrious history and roster of diverse acts from the UK, including Sir Elton John, Queen and Take That.

The label group is also home to a star-studded US and international roster which includes artists such as Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, Chappell Roan and Noah Kahan.
