The label has produced many significant R&B, Soul, and Rock N Roll records while also having ventured in Hip Hop since the beginning of the 21st century.

Atlantic Records had owned a 50 percent stake in Creator/InterscopeRecords which launched in 1990. They sold their shares to Creator/{{MCA}} (later known as Universal Records) after many activist groups complained about many of the gangsta rap albums released through Interscope, including ones released in conjunction with Creator/DeathRowRecords. After the sales of the Warner Music Group to a group of investors in 2004, Atlantic was merged with Creator/ElektraRecords. Despite this, the Atlantic brand continues to operate separately from that of Elektra, and it continues to be a major label to this day: they were the first major to have more than half of their sales from digital products, though they still maintain strong UsefulNotes/CompactDisc sales compared to other record labels.
