RESEARCH: Industry

Radio Corporation of America (RCA) was founded in 1919.  It was part of General Electric in the hopes that it would take over the radio technology market.

 In the year 1929 RCA purchased the 'Victor Talking Machine Company' which was the world's largest manufacturer of gramophones and gramophone records. So RCA became RCA Victor.

RCA Records is the second-oldest recording company in US history. RCA's Canadian unit is Sony's oldest label in Canada, as it was only one of two Canadian record companies (now Universal Music Canada) to survive the Great Depression.

RCA is the name of three different co-owned record labels. RCA Records is the Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B and Country music label

RCA president/COO Tom Corson says

"We feel like [the video] over-performed, and we were very pleased with the pickup," continues Corson. "The video is obviously high-quality, and the song is beautiful and wonderful. It's one of the songs that convinced us to sign her."

Produced by Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald and Cirkut, "Wrecking Ball" offers starker lyrical content and a slower tempo than Cyrus' previous single, "We Can't Stop," which spent most of the summer camped out in the Hot 100's top five.

"Now we're heading into fall, and ... the timing is perfect for this type of tempo and style," Dastur says, adding that "Wrecking Ball" is still in Z100's "new" rotation category but that early indications signal a huge hit. The track debuts at No. 35 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart.
