Editing MCA Records (section)

=== The 1990s ===
[[GRP Records]] and [[Geffen Records]] were acquired in 1990. Unlike most of MCA's previous acquisitions, GRP (which began managing MCA's jazz holdings) and Geffen (which became a second mainstream subsidiary) labels kept their identities. MCA sold [[Motown Records]] to [[PolyGram]] in 1993.

Singer and songwriter [[Alanis Morissette]] became a noteworthy MCA artist in Canada with her debut album in 1991. After her second album in 1992 she was dropped following disagreements in artistic direction.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thatericalper.com/2016/04/09/the-moment-alanis-morissette-got-dropped-from-her-label-and-what-she-did-next|title=The moment Alanis Morissette got dropped from her label, and what she did next.|date=April 9, 2016}}</ref> However, the company kept her on their song publishing roster, both being owned by Universal Music. Morissette's next album, [[Jagged Little Pill]] (written and produced independently, but released through [[Warner Music]]'s [[Maverick Records]] label) eventually sold more than 30 million copies.
