MySpace Records was a record label founded in 2005 to sign artists who appeared on the social networking site Myspace. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of Myspace, operating as a joint-venture between MySpace and Interscope Records.[1] Distribution is contracted to Universal Music Group's Fontana Distribution, with manufacturing and external marketing by Universal's Interscope.[2]
MySpace Records operated in Beverly Hills, California. The president was MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson until he left the company in 2009. The company was shut down in December 2016.[3]
Milestones
In March 2008, MySpace Records released Pennywise's ninth album, Reason to Believe. A partnership with corporate sponsor Textango meant that MySpace Records provided fans with a free download of the album during a two-week period in exchange for adding the sponsor as a friend on MySpace.com.[4] In 2009, Jeremy Greene released his single "Rain" featuring Pitbull that became the #1 song on MySpace in its prime.
