In 2013, Warner Music Group became even larger after the British music conglomerate Creator/{{EMI}} went out of business; EMI's assets were divided between a Sony/ATV-led consortium (songwriters), Creator/UniversalMusicGroup (which got EMI's American assets, most notably Creator/CapitolRecords and its catalog, rights to Music/TheBeatles recordings, European assets in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Ireland and Switzerland, Creator/VirginRecords, and all of their global arms and archives), and WMG, which got Creator/ParlophoneRecords (owner of EMI's British and, save for the countries mentioned earlier, European catalog, except for the aforementioned Beatles). [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], WMG and EMI had tried to merge and/or buy each other out several times beforehand. The Parlophone acquisition included the catalogue of the British branch of Creator/UnitedArtists Records, ironic given UA's past ownership of the pre-1950 WB film library.
