Virgin Music Group and independent label Neon Gold Records announced a new global distribution deal on Tuesday (June 11).
The partnership combines the global reach of Universal Music Group-owned Virgin Music with Neon Gold’s experience in nurturing talent.
Neon Gold, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary, is known for launching the careers of artists like Tove Lo, Charli XCX, MARINA, Passion Pit and Christine And The Queens. The label’s artists have so far amassed over 15 billion streams and sold more than 10 million album equivalents.
Neon Gold’s artists have also achieved numerous gold and platinum certifications including Tove Lo’s Habits (8x Platinum), Charli XCX’s Boom Clap (3x Platinum), and Passion Pit’s Sleepyhead (2x Platinum). Billboard number ones include Charli XCX’s and Tove Lo’s singles, which topped the Top 40 charts in the summer of 2014, and back-to-back Billboard alternative number ones with Matt Maeson in 2019 and 2020, Cringe and Hallucinogenics (both RIAA-certified platinum).
