Some artists need record labels and others don’t….

According to Fitch Ratings artists like Metallica, Nickelback, and Green Day would have successful and profitable careers without their label. Other Warner Bros. artists such as James Blunt, My Chemical Romance, Josh Groban, Sean Paul, Gnarls Barkley, Flo Rida, T.I., Rob Thomas, Jason Mraz, Kid Rock, and Daniel Powter would need the label to continue in a successful path.
