The Music Publishing division is responsible for owning and acquiring the intellectual property rights to approximately one million musical compositions. This extensive collection includes iconic pop hits, American classics, folk melodies, and scores for motion pictures and theatrical productions. Its comprehensive catalog represents the work of roughly 100,000 songwriters and composers, covering an expansive spectrum of musical styles such as pop, rock, jazz, classical, country, R&B, hip-hop, rap, reggae, Latin, folk, blues, symphonic, soul, Broadway, electronic, alternative, and gospel.
