PROFILE |
 |
Music may be universal, but Universal Music Group (UMG) is dancing to the sounds of France. Now a subsidiary of Vivendi Universal (the French utility and media firm bought former parent Seagram in 2000), UMG is one of the world's largest music companies and controls nearly 30% of the market share of US album sales. The company controls about 15 record labels, and its Universal Music Publishing Group is one of the world's largest music publishers. UMG also has gone online with GetMusic and Farmclub.com (which the company is combining), and through the purchase of Emusic.com and an agreement to buy MP3.com. Popular UMG artists include Sting, Sheryl Crow, Eminem, Elton John, and Shania Twain.
