Big Three used to be Big Six ...

The article is premised on the idea that an album is independent if its record label is not affiliated with Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, or Universal Music Group. However, those are the major record labels now. As indicated at Music industry#Sales statistics, PolyGram was a major label until acquired by Universal in 1998; BMG was a major label until acquired by Sony in 2004; and EMI was a major label until it was broken up in 2011, with Universal acquiring most of EMI's record business. The article shouldn't imply that a Polygram, BMG, or EMI release was an independent album just because the company isn't now one of the three remaining majors. For that matter, why is Ice Cube's The Predator listed as an independent album when it is listed as having been released by Priority Records/EMI? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
