American Idol Leaves Sony
American Idol has decided to make even more changes. The production company for the popular tv show has signed a deal with Universal Music Group to make, distribute, and market the albums of the top singers on the show.
19 Entertainment, the production company, was with Sony Music but decided to switch to the larger group. Sony Music did produce successes in Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, and Carrie Underwood. The latter has won many high awards including multiple Grammy Awards.
Simon Fuller, the creator of the show, said about the switch, “With Idol celebrating our 10th season I wanted to inject some new power and weight behind our brand. It is exciting to have the world’s biggest show partnered with the world’s biggest music company.”
