There are 3 major record labels that overrule the music industry. This includes:

Sony's Sony Music

Universal's Universal Music Group

Since these three record labels are so big, the genres that they cover are in a huge variety so they have a wider audience to target. They are all also able to promote their artists in the entertainment industry since they have a big connection with their main companies(Sony, Universal and Warner's Bros).
