On 20 August 2010, Queen’s manager Jim Beach announced that the band had signed a new contract with Universal Music Group after almost 40 years with EMI . On 22 September, May confirmed that the band’s new deal was with Island Records , a subsidiary of Universal. Hollywood Records remained as the group’s label and owner of recorded-music rights in the US and Canada. For the first time since the late 1980s, Queen’s catalogue now has the same distributor worldwide, as Universal distributes for both the Island and Hollywood labels (for a time in the late 1980s, Queen was on EMI-owned Capitol Records in the US).
