According to Avery Lipman, he and his brother Monte conceived the idea for Republic Records at their apartment in New York. Lipman stated that both had previously been employed by record companies and were in between jobs at the time. They began putting records out as a hobby, the first of which was the Bloodhound Gang's Dingleberry Haze.[5] Republic Records was formed in 1995 as a subsidiary of MCA's Geffen Records, but soon after its foundation, the distribution changed to the newly established Universal Records.[6]
In January 2000, it was announced that the Universal Music Group acquired the Lipman brothers' Republic Records as a wholly owned subsidiary. Monte Lipman was named president of the Universal Records label,[7] while Avery Lipman became Republic's president.[8]
Universal Republic Records: 2006–2012
In 2006, corporate restructuring saw the formation of Universal Republic Records through a merger between the two labels.[9] Monte Lipman became the president and CEO of the restructured label while Avery Lipman served as co-president and COO.[10] Other changes were made at the label's parent, Universal Motown Republic Group, during the summer of 2011. Universal Motown Records was shut down, transferring its artists to the newly recreated Motown Records or Universal Republic Records. Universal Republic Records became a stand-alone label and the Universal Motown Republic Group was shut down.[11] In August 2011, the restructured Universal Republic signed Ariana Grande to a record contract.[12]
Republic Records revival: 2012–present
In October 2012, Universal Republic Records returned to the Republic Records moniker.[13] Just prior to the label's return to the Republic name, it signed Canadian artist The Weeknd through his imprint label, XO.[14] In addition to artists' albums, the label has released soundtracks with the Fox Broadcasting Company (Star),[15] NBC (The Voice), and former UMG parent Universal Pictures (Fifty Shades and Sing),[16] among numerous other partnerships, films, and television series.[17] Republic Records had songs in six of the top-10 spots on the Mediabase Top 40 Chart in 2015, tying a 2013 record.[18] Also in 2015, the label signed American rapper and singer, Post Malone.[19]
Also in 2019, Republic Records was named the "Label of the Year" by both Billboard[25] and Variety.[26] It has been Billboard's label of the year for 4 of the last 5 years[25] and Variety's for each of the last three.[26] Republic was also named Billboard's Hot 100 Label of the Year for the sixth straight time.[27] Five Republic albums (Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next, Taylor Swift's Lover, Post Malone's Beerbongs & Bentleys, Drake's Scorpion and Post Malone's Hollywood's Bleeding) also appeared in the top 10 of the year-endBillboard 200 chart.[25]
In 2020, Republic Records partnered up with JYP Entertainment for the South Korean girl group Twice as the group's first American label and distributor. Twice will be the first artist from JYP Entertainment to be powered under the alliance. Twice's signing represents a diversifying market for K-pop in the US.[28] On April 8, 2020, it was stated that the record has partnered up with the South Korean girl group (G)I-dle after the release of their third EP I Trust, marking the group's official debut in the US.[29] At the 2020 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Republic Records won "Label of the Year".[30]
At the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Republic Records won "Label of the Year".[31] For 2021, for the first time, Republic Records was ranked number one on Billboard's three year-end label rankings: "Top Labels", "200 Labels", and "Hot 100 Labels".[32]Billboard then featured the Lipman brothers in a December 2021 cover story on Republic Records.[33]
Republic Records became the first label to partner with DistroKid, allowing it to mine data from the company looking for new artists. The initiative began in 2021 and allowed DistroKid to receive a finder's fee for any new artist signed to the label.[34] In January 2021, the label had five of the top seven albums on the Billboard 200 chart, including the top three spots with Morgan Wallen's Dangerous: The Double Album, Taylor Swift's Evermore, and Pop Smoke's Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. The Weeknd's After Hours and Ariana Grande's Positions were sixth and seventh respectively.[35] That month, Republic also had six of the top ten albums on the Rolling Stone album chart and nine of the top 20 songs on the Rolling Stone song chart.[36] In March 2021, Taylor Swift became the first Republic artist to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for her album, Folklore.[37] On November 24, 2021, Jim Roppo and Wendy Goldstein were named co-presidents of Republic Records.[38]
Since August 2021, Universal Music Group began to launch and expand the Republic Records imprint in international markets. The label made its first International debut in China via its local subsidiary UMG China on August 16, 2021.[39] The label launched in Philippines via its local subsidiary UMG Philippines in July 22, 2022, with domestic artists Darren Espanto, Elha Nympha and Zack Tabudlo among other artists who were signed to the label.[40]
In 2022, Republic Records expanded its current partnership with JYP Entertainment to include Itzy and Stray Kids.[41] Republic Records partnered up with NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan to include fripSide and Nagi Yanagi. This was later expanded to cover all of their artists, alongside worldwide distribution of artists and catalogs, A&R, marketing and business development.[42]
At the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Republic Records won "Label of the Year".[43] For the second year in a row, Billboard listed Republic Records as number one on its three 2022 year-end label rankings, including "Top Labels".[44][45]
In 2023, Republic Records had the longest streak for a label atop the Billboard 200 in 25 years, including Morgan Wallen's One Thing at a Time, Taylor Swift's Midnights, Nagi Yanagi's Yukiharuame, and Stray Kids' 5-STAR.[46] On December 6, 2023, Republic had the top six albums on the Billboard 200. It was the first time in 60 years the same label had released the top five albums on the chart.[47]
In February 2024, Republic was reorganized under the newly structured umbrella of Republic Corps, a music label unit formed by parent Universal Music Group. As part of reorganizing UMG's coastal operations, Republic was aligned with Island Records and Def Jam Recordings under the "East Coast" banner; Monte Lipman, the label's co-founder, oversees the New York City operations.[48][49]
Taylor Swift was first signed to Nashville-based Big Machine Records, recording her first six studio albums with the label. As her contract with Big Machine ended in 2018, she signed with Republic, with her first single "ME!" with the label released on April 26, 2019.[56][57]Jack Johnson has received a number of gold and platinum certifications.[58]Damian Marley's debut album was certified gold and sold one million copies worldwide.[59]
