I figure that for it to be profitable to publish an UMG on an artist, the artist need to have:
A) big sales figures
B) enduring popularity
C) a large discography.
D) a large achieve of articles about them
Also, have they appeared on the cover of Uncut?
So these are the UMGs that I think are most likely:
Nirvana + Foo Fighters
Nirvana has to be the biggest most influential rock act who hasn’t had an UMG yet.
I figure they’re waiting for the 30th Anniversary of Nevermind in Sep to publish this.
Blur
30th Anniversary of their debut album this year.
Rush
