Divisions

Music publishing

In January 2012, Round Hill and Adage Classics jointly acquired the GIL Music and GPS Music catalogs, which included six Beatles songs, including "I Saw Her Standing There".[4]

In September 2017, Round Hill made its largest acquisition to date, paying $250 million for the Carlin America publisher. Carlin owned the rights to songs recorded by Elvis Presley, among other artists.[5][6]

In August 2019, Round Hill signed a sub-publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music, which will represent Round Hill's catalogue outside of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Nordics.[7]

Round Hill has also signed the catalogues of KK Downing (Judas Priest),[8] Jani Lane (Warrant), Triumph, Tesla,[9] Ronnie James Dio, Neil Sedaka, and Eric Carmen.[10]

Round Hill Records

In 2014, Round Hill Records was established with the catalog acquisition of the UK rock band Bush.[11]

In January 2016, Round Hill paid $35 million for the entire song publishing catalogue of American rock band The Offspring, as well as the band's Columbia Records recordings.[12] Today Round Hill Records is releasing records from artists such as Royal Teeth and The London Souls, as well as providing label services to many other artists.

In 2014 Round Hill Music and BMG Rights Management sued Cox Communications for the copyright infringements of its subscribers.[13][14] In December 2015 the case was decided in BMG and Round Hill Music's favor.[15][16]
