Big Loud Records Signs Distribution Deal With Mercury Records/Republic

/by

Big Loud Records has signed a new multi-year distribution deal with Mercury Records/Republic.

In the past, only releases from Big Loud Records artists Morgan Wallen, Lily Rose and Dylan Gossett were involved in the partnership, while the rest of the label’s roster was distributed through Stem and Amped.

Big Loud Founders & Partners Seth England, Craig Wiseman and Joey Moi sent a memo to their staff regarding the new deal, and expressed their gratitude for Stem and Amped, stating: “Both teams have been an integral part of our growth story and remain a highly recommended distribution and artist resources solution for self-determined artists and companies. We remain proud investors of Stem to this day.”

The memo continued: “The Big Loud partners and executive leadership team are immeasurably proud of what this roster and staff have accomplished over the past eight years. Our songs, albums, artists and company have seen the top slots of nearly every chart in our format. Best of all, we’ve earned those accolades with integrity. We’re reaching new heights with broadened creative ventures and international outposts leading our growth into new genres and markets. With this next chapter, we are thrilled to elevate with a like-minded, best-in-class team that’s effectively been the No. 1 all-genre record label in the business for the last decade. Rest assured, Mercury Records/Republic both mirrors and supports our renegade spirit.

“This partnership allows for Big Loud Records to remain fiercely independent while leveraging their global distribution and resources, as needed, to best serve our world-class roster. Artists and our staff will see increased creative opportunities, robust international support, new multimedia partnerships, additional multi-format promotion muscle and merchandising resources, among many other benefits. And to clarify: Big Loud Records has not been acquired in any way. Our full staff will remain intact and will continue to lead with the artists we represent.”
