History

Fuller, who had previously managed the careers of musicians

S Club 7, the second act to be signed to 19 Recordings and Polydor Records, achieved better success.[4] S Club 7 went on to sell over 14 million albums worldwide until their disbandment in 2003.[7] After disbanding in 1990, the British duo Eurythmics reunited in 1999 and was signed to RCA Records and 19 Recordings, and released their final studio album Peace (1999) to commercial success.[8]

In 2001, Fuller created the singing competition series

Let Your Head Go" (2003) and Bunton released her second album, Free Me (2003), to commercial success.[9]

In 2002,

Some Hearts (2005), became 19 Recordings's best-selling release in the United States with sales of 7 million copies.[15]

Beginning in 2006, 19 Recordings also began to sign artists who were unrelated to Idols, such as Annie Lennox, Amy Studt, Orianthi, and Sons of Sylvia. 19 Recordings co-released The Annie Lennox Collection (2008) with RCA Records to commercial success. Albums by Studt, Orianthi, and Sons of Sylvia were released to minimal success.

In February 2014, 19 Recordings sued Sony Music Entertainment for $10 million in damages, claiming that Sony is robbing them in royalties from digital revenue from streaming platforms such as Spotify, Google, and Apple.[16] As of January 2018, a settlement in principle was reached.[17]
