In 2004, UMG's relationship with the larger Universal ended after the latter was acquired by General Electric and merged with Creator/{{NBC}}. In 2006, ownership of the label passed to Creator/{{Vivendi}}, who maintained a minority stake in [=NBCUniversal=] until its sale to Comcast in 2011 (UMG continues to operate under the Universal name under license from its former sister studio). Vivendi sold off the majority of it's UMG shares to the public stock market in 2021, effectively ending Vivendi's ties to Universal for good, though it still has a 10% stake alongside other investors.

EMI's British and most of their European divisions were reorganized into Creator/ParlophoneRecords, now owned by Creator/WarnerMusicGroup (although UMG was allowed to keep Music/TheBeatles[='=] recordings, which were considered EMI's crown jewel).
