Republic Records is one of the biggest major record labels in the United States. Its artists and catalog span pop and rap at the highest level, including Drake, whose albums release through OVO Sound and Republic, and Pop Smoke, whose debut album went to No. 1 and has produced seven platinum certified singles.
Why did Kim Petras ask to leave Republic Records?
Her album Detour had been finished for six months without a release date, and she said the label had not paid her collaborators. She formally requested to be dropped from Republic Records on January 20, 2026, seeking control over her own release schedule.
How do labels like Republic Records make money from streaming?
Streaming services pay rights holders fractions of a cent per stream, and the label collects the recording side of that before splitting with the artist. Volume is what matters. A catalog like Drake's, with more than 80 billion career streams, generates steady income at rates where hundreds of streams are worth about a dollar.
Who owns Republic Records?
Republic Records is part of Universal Music Group, the largest of the three major label groups. It was founded by Monte and Avery Lipman and operates as one of UMG's flagship labels.
