2017 FIRST TIME
Gold & Platinum Recipients
Breaking artists is what music labels, big and small, do every day. Tastemakers. Innovators. Partners. Investors. Fans. That’s who labels are. Each story behind these 2017 certified Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum artists is different, but one consistent thread is that a record label helped achieve that level of prestigious success. We are #labelsatwork.
