Artists on its roster include Queen (for only the US and Canada), Aly & AJ, Breaking Benjamin, Atreyu,The Cheetah Girls, Elefant, Evans Blue, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Hilary Duff, Indigo Girls, Ingram Hill, Jeannie Ortega, Jesse McCartney, Jordan Pruitt, Los Lobos, Miley Cyrus, Plain White T's, Raven-Symoné, Regis Philbin, Sparta, Vanessa Hudgens, Marie Digby, Corbin Bleu, Hayden Panettiere, Gran Bel Fisher.
In 1991, Hollywood released a two-CD greatest hits compilation of the Dave Clark Five's music called "The History of The Dave Clark Five" which remains one of only 2 legitimately released CD compilations of their work.
It also releases many film soundtracks from films made by Disney or Disney-owned film studios.
Together with Lyric Street Records, Mammoth Records and Walt Disney Records, it is currently part of the Buena Vista Music Group.
