Grimes has signed with Columbia Records, a source tells Billboard. This marks her first foray into the major label system, having released albums only on independent labels previously.
After releasing two albums in 2010 on Canadian indie Arbutus Records, Grimes’ last three albums were released on 4AD — Visions (2012), Art Angels (2015) and Miss Anthropocene (2020). Collectively these projects have earned 736,000 album consumption units, of which 307,000 are in album sales and 554 million on-demand song streams in the U.S., according to MRC Data.
