Just a curiosity: Warner Music Group, the only major record company not part of a diffuse conglomerate, is the 611th largest business in America, according to the traditional Fortune 1000 ranking. It ranked as high as 542th in 2006, the year it was spun-off, and progressively lost positions until 2009 due to declining sales, going as low as 616th. In 2010, WMG managed to lose less revenue than other companies, and climbed back 5 positions.
