Big Machine, literally worse than top anime betrayal

RCA is the worst, career suicide for any artist tbh 

 

RCA is absolutely trash. Tate, Jade and a few other artists literally had their full albums leaked.

Hollywood Records is absolute ass as an artist literally has to be Disney friendly.

Big Machine is horrid.

Definitely Hollywood Records, they pretty much only promoted their artists on Disney, sometimes they didn't even bother to send singles to US radio

RCA is a mess, literally this year week by week one of their artists album got leaked. started with tate, then lisa and jade

 

 

I remember Rachel Platten saying Columbia Records kicked her out because she got pregnant

Imagine how much bigger SZA and Doja could be if they were on Republic instead of RCA.

 

OT: RCA

It's obv big machine

Id say in order

1. Sony

2. RCA (though I would think it's early days were fine)

3. Blackground

4. Atlantic

epic records, fifth harmony stans will know the trauma 

1. Hollywood Records - there's a reason Sabrina struggled to breakout for YEARS. There's a reason Hilary Duff didn't have as big of a music career as she could have had during her peak hype. There's a reason Miley and Selena's biggest hits came AFTER they left Hollywood (aside from Party In the USA and The Climb). There's a reason Dove Cameron didn't get a hit until 2022. There's a reason a lot of their artists not related to Disney don't blow up. Literally, just don't sign there. 

 

2. Epic Records - The way they've handled eras over the last 15 years is inconsistent and embarrassing. Avril Lavigne had one of her eras botched and screwed over because of them and that was AFTER she already had RCA **** her over. Cher Lloyd lost a lot of momentum in the US because they delayed her second album. Same with Karmin and Zara Larsson. Bonnie McKee could have actually had a moment in 2013 if they just let her release her album. Madison Beer's Make You Mine last year could have been as big as Greedy and Espresso if they had released it to radio and promoted it more on streaming. Tyla is struggling to take off. They got lucky with Travis Scott but he's essentially poison at this point after Astrogate (his singles chart but then fall off quick). I could go on and on.

 

3. RCA - Clive Davis was just pure evil. The way he treated Kelly and Avril was disgusting. Tinashe's career would have been bigger had it not been for their screwups. 

I agree with you guys. 

Honestly, RCA is the worst ever record label.

 

Britney hadn't much big success as she did on Jive because of the label, but more than that, her family sabotaged her two last eras.

Don't forget about Britney Spears. I still don't know what she is still doing in a shitty label like RCA.

The whole of Sony music entertainment is pretty dreadful and they have some notoriously terrible labels under them like RCA, and Columbia. They had Syco in the UK which was notorious for terrible contracts and sabotaging it's artists, all that Dr Luke stuff happened under them too. 

Mte although I think Columbia is the most competent label from all the major sister labels under Sony Music. Epic, RCA and even the fairly recent relaunch of Arista are truly a mess managing their current roster and Sony mainly survived as the second largest of the Big 3 label because they own many impactful and legacy catalogues plus Columbia

Sony/ RCA/ Epic - they are the same group

Epic

 

And recently Sumerian the way they treated Denis and now him and Asking Alexandria has left. They only making money off poppy now but without her they be over (all my faves r from that label but they r real scumbags)
