"Two of the most-trusted independent platforms in this category were acquired by major labels in 2026."
February 2026: Universal Music Group acquired Downtown Music Holdings for $775M, bringing FUGA inside the world's largest major. April 2026: Warner Music Group acquired Revelator.
Every independent label using those platforms now operates inside a corporate structure owned by the major they compete against. Music Intel Pro has no label parent. Our independence is by design, not by accident.
The shortlist of independent platforms in this category got shorter. We're still on it.
