British independent record label XL Recordings has reported a significant profit of $12.8 million for the fiscal year ending in 2023, as detailed in their recent business review. This impressive figure was achieved from only eight album releases, with the label's total turnover reaching approximately $64.12 million (around $79.8 million). Notably, the success of Peggy Gou's track (It Goes Like) Nananana was a major contributor to these results, gaining traction worldwide and dominating festival sets over the summer.
XL Recordings' annual accounts provided insights into the company's operations, including its stakes in subsidiaries like Young Recordings and Mowax Labels, both of which are held at 50%. The label's ability to produce such profits amidst a relatively modest number of releases showcases the growing strength and popularity of its artists. Besides Peggy Gou, the roster includes heavy hitters such as Adele, Basement Jaxx, The Prodigy, and Tyler the Creator.
Adele's relationship with XL Recordings has been particularly noteworthy; in 2021, the label reacquired rights to three of her albums, subsequently boosting profits at Beggars Group by 55%. This year, her influence, combined with high-performing tracks like Romy and Fred Again’s collaboration Strong, which earned a Grammy nomination in the Best Dance Recording category, solidifies XL Recordings’ position as a powerhouse in the music industry.
In summary, XL Recordings’ recent financial results reflect the continued ascent of dance music on the charts, and the label's strategic investments in artist development and rights management are paying off handsomely.
