Universal Motown Records formerly universal records is a USA record label, owned by Universal Music Group located in New York, Manhattan.

Founded in 1995 as Rising Tide Records, the following year its name was changed to Universal Records and began to thrive.

It was created by current Universal Music Group Chairman, Doug Morris, and Daniel Glass, who became its President.

The label had success in breaking artists, including the multi-platinum debut of Erykah Badu, Billie Myers, Goldfinger, and the Lost Boyz. Recognizing the changing landscape of the industry, Glass strategically aligned Universal with such independent record labels as Kedar Entertainment, home to Erykah Badu, and Mojo Records, home to platinum artist Reel Big Fish and the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.

As the 1990s ended and the 2000s began, the label had notable success with acts like 98 Degrees, Jack Johnson, Juvenile, and Nelly. Overseas, it has notable success with the band Grinspoon.

Subsequently Universal Records merged with Motown Records to form The Universal Motown Records Group, under which it operates today.

    Dear Universal, don't you think it's about time you remove the official pictures of Papa Roach? Besides that no one likes them, the "Like" and "Dislike" buttons seem to be there for a reason. And in case you haven't noticed yet, those two pictures are the ones with the biggest amount of dislikes. They've been there for ages and us, the fans, think it's about time we choose which picture we prefer, don't you think? This is a free site, so we shall have the right to choose. I know that no one wil ever read this and that it is a waste of time, but I just wanted to show my insatisfaction. Thank you, someone.

    Dieses Video ist aufgrund des Urheberrechtsanspruchs von UMG blablablabla. Ach verpisst euch doch einfach. Die beste Musik gibt's eh nie von großen Labeln. Immer nur so ne Scheiße wie Lady Gaga, totgehyped und nix dahinter.
