Hollywood Records is a record label owned by the Walt Disney Company. It mainly focuses on pop music, although they do include some metalcore and alternative metal bands. The label was started in 1989 and initially distributed by Elektra Records in the US and Canada until 1995 when distribution switched to PolyGram (which became Universal Music Group in 1998.)
Hollywood Records also releases many film soundtracks from films made by Disney or Disney-owned film studios.
Together with Lyric Street Records, Mammoth Records and Walt Disney Records, it is as of 2008 part of the Disney Music Group.

[edit] Hollywood Records In The United Kingdom & Australia
In the United Kingdom and Australia, Hollywood Records currently releases acts such as Hilary Duff, Jesse McCartney, and Aly & AJ through the Angel Records label of EMI, and acts like Girls Aloud through the label of Fascination Records, however in the past it has been distributed 'independently' through Edel Records for Duran Duran's Pop Trash album and had a sub-label called Tr1be in the early 1990s. But, they promote very little to acts such as Hilary Duff and focus more on Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers. How sucky.
