RCA Records

=== 1990s ===
In August 1990 Buziak was replaced by [[Joe Galante]], who had been the president of [[RCA Records Nashville]] division. The roster was cut once again and the A&R department was restructured. Along with the launch of BNA Records and the expansion of the urban music division, these initiatives would prove to be positive, but RCA was unsuccessful under Galante, ranking 10th in market share in 1995.<ref>{{cite news |last1=New York Times staff |title=New Chief at RCA Records |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/08/09/business/new-chief-at-rca-records.html |access-date=August 15, 2015 |newspaper=The New York Times |date=August 9, 1990}}</ref><ref name="Newman Billboard">{{cite magazine |last1=Newman |first1=Melinda |title=Novik Knows the Score in RCA's New Talent Drive |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KRAEAAAAMBAJ&q=dave+novik+rca+1992&pg=PA10 |access-date=August 15, 2015 |magazine=Billboard|date=November 28, 1992}}</ref><ref name="Jamieson billboard">{{cite magazine |last1=Jeffrey |first1=Don |title=Jamieson Named RCA President After 7 Month Search|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6AsEAAAAMBAJ&q=RCA+records+galante+1995+market+share&pg=PA4-IA1 |access-date=August 15, 2015 |magazine=Billboard |date=April 8, 1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Haring |first1=Bruce |title=RCA prexy gives Nipper something to bark about |url=https://variety.com/1993/music/news/rca-prexy-gives-nipper-something-to-bark-about-106821/|access-date=August 15, 2015 |magazine=Variety |date=May 13, 1993}}</ref> Galante returned to head the Nashville division and was replaced in March 1995 by the president of RCA Records Canada, Bob Jamieson.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Phillips |first1=Chuck |title=Company Town: BMG Names Insider to Head RCA Records |url=http://articles.latimes.com/1995-03-28/business/fi-47871_1_rca-records |access-date=August 16, 2015 |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=March 28, 1995}}</ref> Jamieson overhauled RCA, eliminating a layer of middle management and retooling the label's marketing department. The A&R department was again restructured and the artist roster cut.

By the close of the decade, RCA Records had undergone what ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' described as a "remarkable turnaround" with the success of artists including [[Britney Spears]], [[the Dave Matthews Band]], [[Natalie Imbruglia]], [[the Verve Pipe]], [[Robyn]], [[SWV]], [[Christina Aguilera]], [[NSYNC]], and [[Foo Fighters]]. A distribution deal with [[Loud Records]] yielded hit records from urban artists including [[Big Punisher]], [[Wu-Tang Clan]] and [[Mobb Deep]].<ref name="Retooled RCA">{{cite magazine |last1=Baumgartner |first1=Bradley |title=Retooled RCA Is Once Again A Hitmaker |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jQ4EAAAAMBAJ&q=Billboard+RCA+jamieson+rovner&pg=PA86 |access-date=August 16, 2015 |magazine=Billboard |date=May 23, 1998}}</ref>
