Fox Music has also supervised the music for 20th Century Fox Television hits such as Ally McBeal and The X-Files, as well as current shows Family Guy and The Simpsons. Since 1994, television soundtracks from Fox Music have included the worldwide platinum albums from "Ally McBeal" and "X-Files", plus hit compilations from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Angel, The Simpsons, Roswell and 24.

Fox Music used to utilize unaffiliated record companies for distribution.

Following the Disney-Fox merger in 2019, Fox Music is now part of Disney Music Group and distributed by Universal Music Group, now Fox Music is a sub-label of DMG's Hollywood Records.
