RCA Music Group was an umbrella group of labels distributed by Sony Music Entertainment that existed between March 2004 and 2009 and for a short period of time between July 2011 and October 2011 until all RCA Music Group labels were merged with RCA Records.  Sony announced that they were again restructuring RCA/Jive Label Group. The Jive side split. Some artists moved under a restructured Epic Records which is now headed by L.A. Reid. L.A Reid has managed the careers of some of the most successful artists of the past couple years. Epic will focus on urban music while the RCA Music Group continued on its own. Jive Records was moved under RCA Music Group, minus those artists who were moved to Epic. Some of Jive's urban artists such as Usher moved to Epic, while other Jive pop artists, including Britney Spears & Pink, stayed under Jive as the label moved under the RCA Music Group. Peter Edge serves as CEO of the company. The company is expected to start releasing all of its releases under RCA Records. Arista Records, J Records and Jive Records have been shut down with all of their artists moving to RCA. In August 2011 RCA laid off 20 members of its staff to prepare for the reformation. I wonder if this group will be as big and successful as WMG.
