LABEL PROFILE

Mercury Records

Mercury Records is a Universal Music Group label founded in Chicago in 1945 by Irving Green, Berle Adams, Ray Greenberg and Arthur Talmadge. Its early catalogue ran from Patti Page and the Platters to jazz by Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington and Clifford Brown.

Later decades made it a rock and funk label too. Rod Stewart, Thin Lizzy, Rush, 10cc, Kiss, the Ohio Players and Kool & the Gang all released records through Mercury, and Def Leppard and Bon Jovi followed.

The US label was folded in 2015. Republic Records relaunched it in 2022 under Tyler Arnold and Ben Adelson, with Post Malone, Noah Kahan, James Bay, Lord Huron, Jeremy Zucker and Chelsea Cutler on the roster, and AJR joined later. Noah Kahan's Stick Season is a Mercury release, and Morgan Wallen's albums on Big Loud come out through a distribution deal with Mercury. Since 2024 it has sat inside Republic Corps, the group that also runs Def Jam and Island.
