Distribution

Distribution is how the artist distributes their product to the public. This is done through the agreeing of term and signing a contract, giving the distributor rights to sell the artists music. They can then sell this on to record stores. From this deal, the distributor will be allowed a cut of the profits that the artist makes from selling their CD. An example of music distribution is:


Nova:

All Nova titles are exclusively distributed by Universal Music Operations in the UK & Ireland (Deep Catalogue by GEM Logistics). Nova pre-sells all titles to all major specialist retailers, supermarkets and internet sellers such as HMV, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Amazon and Play.com as well as to wholesalers, exporters and the independents. We pride ourselves on prioritising all releases in a clear professional manner and remaining contactable for all labels at all times.
