Last year, Louis released his million selling smash debut solo album ‘Walls’ which hit Top 3 in the UK and Top 10 in the USA.

In 2019 Louis headlined the Coca-Cola music festival in Madrid to an audience of 25,000 people, and performed to 65,000 fans at Premios Telehit in the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City. Louis picked up the Best Song Award at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards for ‘Two Of Us’, which has so far hit over 100 million streams on Spotify alone.
In 2018 Louis won an iHeart Award for ‘Best Solo Breakout’, and an EMA Award for ‘Best UK & Ireland Act’ in 2017. He was ranked No.5 on Billboard’s emerging artists of 2018 and has over 60 million combined followers on social media. Last year he won ‘Artist Of The Summer’ in Philly radio station 96.5 TDY’s annual awards.
In December 2020, Louis hosted one of the biggest live stream concert events of 2020, selling over 160,000 tickets to fans in over 100 countries and raising funds for several important charities. As a member of One Direction, Louis has sold over 100 million records. Overall Louis’ solo music has garnered over a BILLION streams.
Hi!!!! okay so i’m incredibly happy with this decision for him to sign with BMG. and honestly it makes a lot of sense as that label is built off the foundation of a lot of his beliefs regarding artists and the music industry. they have pretty well known artists atop their roster such as john legend, lewis capaldi, blink-182, bruno mars, bring me the horizon, run the jewels etc., etc. and they have a reputation of helping their artists flourish in ways that give the artist a sense of control and direction. yes, a record label is a record label, but there’s a few who actually feel like they work alongside their artists instead of over them and BMG is one of those.
he publicly isnt tied to any sony branch anymore under his solo career/name and every music/creative project going forward will be devoid of any sony affiliations.
also if you want to understand more of the mantra BMG stands behind this is how they describe themselves on their website ✨
