Myspace Records is a record label founded in 2005 to sign artists who appear on the social networking site Myspace. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of MySpace, operating as a joint-venture between MySpace and Interscope Records. Distribution is contracted to Universal Music Group's Fontana Distribution, with manufacturing and external marketing by Universal's Interscope.
Myspace Records operates as a record label located in Beverly Hills, California. The president was MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson, until he left the company in 2009.
In March 2008 MySpace Records released Pennywise's ninth album, Reason to Believe. A partnership with corporate sponsor Textango meant that MySpace Records provided fans with a free download of the album during a two-week period, in exchange for adding the sponsor as a friend on MySpace.com. In 2009 Jeremy Greene released his single "Rain" featuring Pitbull that became the #1 song on MySpace in its prime.
MySpace Records, MySpace.com and Toyota of America launched "Rock The Space" an online based battle of the bands. The winner was Long Beach, CA based pop/rock band Call The Cops.
