Number of music labels in France 2017-2019
Record labels are the companies responsible for the recording, marketing and distribution of recorded music, but also finding new talents to promote. If most of the recorded music is produced by one of the "Big Three" (Warner Music, Universal Music or Sony), some labels remain independent. Over the past three years, the number of record labels in France has slightly been increasing and has reached 1,375 labels as of 2019.
