EMI to launch new Christian music distribution Unit
IN AMERICA EMI have formed a company in order to produce and market
what it terms "the industry's largest repertoire of Christian music."
EMI's Christian Music Group will consist of two EMI-owned labels:
Sparrow, headed by Bill Hearn, and Star Song, headed by Stan Moser. As
part of the group, EMI will launch a new Christian music distribution
unit to market the repertoire of Sparrow and Star Song as well as
other Christian labels including ForeFront and Warner Alliance to
America's Christian bookstores. Releases to be distributed by EMI
account for 23 of the Top 50 albums on the US CCM chart as we go to
press.
