Sources confirm that Selena Gomez has signed with John Janick’s Interscope after seven years on Hollywood Records.
The diva will work closely with Janick—who bested multiple suitors to sign her—on the next phase of her career. In the meantime, A greatest-hits package with new music is in the works for a possible Q4 release, fulfilling Gomez's obligation to Ken Bunt’s Hollywood.
During her tenure with Disney, the Hollywood label developed her into a major new recording artist, with sales of 2.8m albums and 18.1m tracks, while helping her accrue a massive fan base (she’s garnered more than 1.7 billion total video views and enjoys 4.5m subscribers to her YouTube channel, as well as 22.7m Twitter followers). Gomez was coveted by all the majors.
The potential for the next phase of her career has certainly been underscored by the recent successes of Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus—both of whom, like Gomez, migrated from kid-TV stardom to the pop charts.
They were faster than Capitol[and a 3rd label] after Stars Dance. Even went to her Jingle Balls. And followed me after.
"Gomez was coveted by all the majors."
Demi should leave HWR too though. Basically all of their big stars like Hilary, Miley, Nick, and now Selena has basically left. But maybe this means that Demi will get the full attention?
