The CEO isElliot Grainge.[2] In total, the label group has nearly three hundred artists on its roster.
In 2004,Time Warner sold Warner Music to a group of private investors.

Splitting off from Atlantic Records Group, EMG will take with it five labels that previously operated under the Atlantic group (including Elektra Records), three label staff, and a handful of major artists. Elektra's independence renews the WEA (Warner-Elektra-Atlantic) triad that had for decades mark the original company organization. Elektra co-presidents, however, will answer to Atlantic Records Group Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman and Chairman/COO Julie Greenwald.[4]
In 2020, Atlantic Records announced the relaunching of its original subsidiary labelAtco Records, under the authority of its A&R PresidentPete Ganbarg. This reactivation of Atco Records marks the first time in over 25 years that the label has actively operated under the Atlantic Records umbrella.
