Behind the hits and fame lies a darker side of the music industry… Join us as we explore record labels that sabotaged their own artists’ careers! Our countdown features music legends from Prince to Kesha, whose creative visions were stifled, contracts exploited, and careers derailed by the very companies meant to support them. From Virgin Records’ interference with XTC, to JoJo’s decade-long limbo with Blackground, to TLC’s bankruptcy despite generating millions, these stories reveal the music industry’s darkest practices. Some artists changed their names to break free, while others tragically lost their lives to the pressure. Did we miss any terrible label-artist fallouts? Let us know in the comments!
