In what will serve to be one of the music industry’s most prolific stories of the year, Britney Spears has been confirmed to be leaving record label of many years, JIVE.
She will now become an artist solely signed to the RCA Music Group which was formerly a half of the RCA/JIVE label group…
Find out why below…
As reported some weeks ago, former Island Def Jam executive LA Reid has been confirmed as the new head of a restructured Epic Records.
As part of the major restructuring, Epic will take on many of JIVE’s artists including Pink and Usher who were both signed by Reid.
As a result of this Britney Spears will leave of JIVE to become a RCA Music Group artist as opposed to being a member of the RCA/JIVE division which is now seperating for JIVE to become a part of Epic Records which is to be headed by Reid.
It is worth wondering what prompted this decision for Britney to leave a label that she has worked so well with for more than a decade and what this will mean for long time chart rival, Christina Aguilera who will become Spears’ label mate.
Either way, this marks an interesting time for the ‘Toxic‘ singer.
For it silences the speculation that ‘Femme Fatale’ would be her last album since a new contract with RCA would mean new music.
Will Britney’s residence at RCA hurt Christina’s chance of a comeback?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. She’s free.She’s free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good, now Ciara next.
No mater where she goes…her career is DONE!! BritFLOP Beers needs to have a seat!! LMFAOOO
Beyonce 4 in stores TOMORROW!
She’s still under a pretty controlling label (RCA, a label that has messed up lots of people p.ex: Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavingne) but at least she will get a little more space to be HER…Jive’s control and overprotection (pun intended) was a major factor for her meltdown
im sure she didnt make this decision . for once in this life can this broad make a decision for herself. damnit rihanna has more control over her career than britney does. thats just sad
BEYONCE 4 IS ALREADY #1 IN 18 COUNTRIES….US IS NEXT!! LMFAOOOO FLOPney Beers HAVE A SEAT! HAHAHHAHAHHA
As long as this doesn’t affect my talented girl Xtina I could give to shits. I wish Britney the best!
its wierd britney has been with jive records since she first started..i wanna see how this is gonna turn out
@CHLOE Britney made ‘In The Zone’ and ‘Blackout’ without her label’s approval.They didn’t want any of the 2 to be released.But she went ahead…
um.. so will this change improve her failing career?
It’s ok.. My girl is just trying some new things.I still love u Brit!
STILL A FLOP B****
@ASAP thats good for britney. i just feel like she should be at a point in her career where she be able to manage herself
I’m here for Britney to slay the ManGa and Slutty Perry by getting some huge sales once she’s settled into a new label.
@CHLOE She wants to but she can’t. Her dad has her pretty much trapped.She’s under a conservatorship and is 100% controlled by him.
Ciara finally left, and now Britney is too..wow.
@TGC Nothing can hurt Christina’s comeback. RCA messed her up while Britney wasn’t signed with them, so Britney joining does not mean that Christina will be effected.RCA understood that she can’t sell by name and they SEEM to be striving for her comeback as much as she does
Dude nothing has changed. Only thing is that Jive is ceasing to exist and some artists are moving to Epic, some are moving to RCA. Nothing to see here.
Actually now that RCA/Jive has split, we don’t know how the staff of the company will be handled.Maybe Britney will end up working with the same team. but just on a different label
What a sad day for Britney fans. (myself included)
JIVE were a mess but RCA are f****** horrible.
Kelly Clarkson – My December
Xtina- Bionic
Avril Lavigne – Goodbye Lullaby.
Is anyone relevant even on that label?
Speaking of relevant, who has been a hit on Epic recently?
More poor (well not really) bbs P!nk, Brit & Usher.
Prayers be with you.
Yes, I am pressed… and slightly overeacting for the lulz.
but still. lets see how this goes over.
HMM, TGJ Hasn’t Trown Shade Since Her Tour Started?
What’s Wrong S A M??
#KingB2011
@CRACKCOKE Don’t worry.This is why the label split, because it wasn’t efficient or effective for their artists.I think they will hire new people with fresh ideas or reform the teams of their artists and for certain performers, it can only get better
@ASAP (As Sincere As Possible).
I hope.
Th eones I listed, Ush, P!nk, Brit are some of my favs. They last era’s were very successful. I’d hate for them (Ush & P in this case) to come back and be mishandled with album push backs and all the other b******* RCA are notorious for.
Majority of y’all are SPECULATING but dont know SH*T!!! Neither Britney or her team confirms SH*T!!!! Once Britney or her managers confirm something then speak on it, if they don’t then SHUT THE F*CK UP!!! And right now I feel like arguing and putting bishes in their place so PLEASE TRY ME!!!!! NEXT!!!!
Oh and
wow a R****** wanted Britney to slay Gaga….#Childplease
Anyway,best wishes to Britney on going to her new label(since Ciara already left Jive,Chris Brown should follow suit before they try messing up his career even more.)
This sounds like a good move for Brit, I’m happy there will definetley be loads more music, as long as they let her keep her own style. Brit’s basically created her own genre and sound, that’s what makes her unique without having to wear meat…
Don’t do a Christina and make her go all ‘Bionic’ :/
Good luck Brit, I love you 🙂
@CHRISTIAN We have EVERY RIGHT IN THE WORLD to be happy about a rumour. It doesn’t look like a fake story, since Jive/RCA is splitting to begin with.Why can’t we get excited????
FLOPTINA WILL NEVER HAVE HER MUSIC CAREER BACK. SHE’S A HUGE B**** AND NO ONE LIKES WORKING WITH A B****.
UNLESS SHE CHANGES EVERYTHING ABOUT HER SHE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE BIGGEST FLOP OF ALL TIME.
THAT’S WHAT YOU GET XTINA…..IT’S CALLED KARMA B****!!!
wishing you good luck Britney!
Jive has been a s***** label for a good minute now. Did Ciara leave the label already? Now that Britney’s gone who is next?
I find it odd she left though. RCA doesn’t seem good to me and I have to wait and see if this La Reid thing is gonna make Jive worse or better *grabs popcorn and waits*
QUEENBEY will be on CNN in 8 minutes
@Noodles
Co-sign with your post. RCA are actually the worst label right now. Look at what they did to Christina, Kelly Clarkson etc.
Isn’t Chris Brown on Jive. He probably might leave too.
Well Britney is top dog at RCA..move over Kelly Clarkson, Xtina, Daughtry, etc…well she and Kesha…I knew the TTWE collab meant more…now Dr Luke will have even more ownership because he has an imprint under RCA. I really hope this means some interesting duets? Britney and Kelly, Britney and Xtina, Britney and Adam Lambert (would kill to hear this one)…RCA appears to be going more pop actually..hmm
HA HA HA HA HA FLOPPPPPPPPPPP WHOREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
HER FACE LOOKS LIKE ITS PHOTO SHOPPED TO THE BODY IN THE PICTURE.
IF THIS IS INDEED TRUE. BRITNEY SPEARS WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE PICKED UP BY A NUMBER LABEL FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT HER NAME IS A NAME BRAND…….. UNLESS SHE DOES INDEPENDENT.
Honestly it doesn’t matter what label Britney end ups up with, any label is gonna invest a lot of money into whatever future projects she has coming up. Britney is still a MONEY MAKER!!!! So I’m not worried at all. But personally I would love to see her with Interscope or Columbia.
@ ASAP – Ooooops that msg wasn’t suppose to have been sent. Lol I was trying to send a different msg. Lol
I’m surprised Sam didn’t put in his opinion about Britney. Must be reading the comments.
I don’t think Britney will hurt Christina’s chance of having a comeback, just because she changed labels.
This news sounds like BS. I looked on the link you cited in your article and it says:
“As for the Jive Records roster, Epic will absorb some of those artists, including Pink and Usher, both originally signed through Reid’s LaFace Records, which entered into a joint venture partnership with BMG-owned Arista Records in 1989. Other marquee Jive acts, like Britney Spears, will likely stay with the RCA half of the former RCA/Jive Label Group. Another name staffers are curious about? OutKast, and whether the duo will reunite with Reid, who ran Arista Records from 2000 to 2004 (during which they won six Grammys), and at long last release new music.”
That statement does not mean Britney is “parting ties” with Jive Records. It means RCA and Jive are splitting and their artist roster is splitting. With LA Reid taking over Epic it is expected that he will absorb the artists he originally signed…ie…Usher and Pink. The rest of the artists roster is just getting split. In fact this article does not even say anything definitive about Britney.
She can do anything she wants.
She is a living legend and one of the most iconic figure on earth.
This is SURE gonna be another albums!!!!
Owhhhh…The Queen of Pop is the best!
I heard she’ll do something collabo with Madonna’s new album.
Aguilera & Spears duet. *drumming* 😀
The M*********** Beyonce is about to flop. 😛
how come britney is a flop? her 2 singles are still on the charts, it might not be super successful since britney doesnt do any tv performances, guesting, interview or whatever just like (katy, rihanna, gaga) you can see all of them on tv most of the time! her femme fatale album is still on the charts as well…
and NO to britney/christina collab, christina is TOO FAKE towards britney…
T o answer ur question, no, this won’t affect Chrissy’s comeback in any way. Bring it on already, Chris!
Good Jive are terrible! They lost out on Britney, Chris Brown’s last album, Ciara etc.
^While RCA way worse than Jive.
but somehow now I can hope for Britney Xtina duet 😀
note: I thought Brit would end up her music career,
but I guess we were wrong.
And this is supposed to help her career? You dumb stans need to realize that she’s a damn flop! Her album is way below the Top 40 on the Billboard Charts and only sold 580,000 copies! Nobody’s checking for her! She has no Top 10 singles right now…. it’s over! If she was really still big, she would’ve went GOLD in a week or at least sold what Nicki sold in a week, 375,000! She’s 30, a mother, out of shape, mentally ill, she needs to sit her old, stank, flat b*** down already and retire. She’ll never be on top. This was supposed to be her big comeback but instead, Gaga came on top! And as far as Christina Aguilera goes, you stans need to get over her too! Bionic only went GOLD, which is pathetic, and nobody’s checking for her fat behind either. She can blow, but her time is up!

She should not go to RCA, look at Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavinge’s career. But she should definitely leave Jive. They f***** up Ciara’s last 2 albums, Uhser’s last 2 albums and Grafitti should’ve done wonders for Chris Brown’s career and F.A.M.E. should only be at 800K WW after nearly 4 months.

She has probably fulfilled her contract w/Jive & renegotiated new terms…. or….
A “key man clause” —
Definition:
Element within a limited partnership agreement that states if certain employees cannot commit a required level of time to the partnership that investment activity is halted. The key man clause protects LPs in the event that key management or employees leave.
U PEOPLE ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HER CAREER WOES THAN SHE IS.. WHEN U HAVE MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOUR ALBUM FLOPS, YOUR RICH ALREADY.. ARTISTS ONLY CONTINUE TO MAKE ALBUMS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDER CONTRACT WITH THEIR LABELS TO PUT OUT A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ALBUMS WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT SO..THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FORCED TO BE PIMPED BY YOUR LABEL, QUALITY IS EFFECTED
Britney is Queen no matter what label she is on. & until Brit or her team says she is leaving Jive f*** off with the bs!
