Interscope records is a Universal Music parent company which oversees artists like Dr Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Black eyed peas, will.i.am and U2. The record label was founded in 1990. It was initially a label that dealt with hip-hop and urban music but by around the year 2000 it expanded and now covers all music genres. The record label was founded by Jimmy Iovine and Ted Field. Geffen Records and A&M Records merged together with Interscope records in 1999. NIN used to be signed with Interscope records, but Trent Reznor fell out with the label as they overpriced his album 'Year Zero' and are now part of their own record label which is called Null Corporation.
This record label is very successful with signed artists such as Ellie Goulding, Lady Gaga, La Roux and LMFAO.
