Virgin changed its "hippie" image in 1977 by taking on the Music/SexPistols, who had already burned their bridges at Creator/{{EMI}} and A&M. Not only did the Pistols and their spinoffs (most notably Music/PublicImageLtd) wind up staying with the label, Virgin was able to attract several PostPunk and NewWaveMusic acts such as Music/{{XTC}}, Music/{{Magazine}}, Music/{{Devo}}, Music/TheHumanLeague, The Records, Fingerprintz, The Ruts, The Members, and The Motors. During TheEighties, the company began signing more pop-oriented acts such as Music/CultureClub and Cutting Crew. By the beginning of TheNineties, Virgin had transformed into a mainstream label, spending huge amounts of money to sign Music/TheRollingStones and Music/JanetJackson. Subsidiary labels were established in other countries, including the United States and Canada.In the midst of all this, Branson was able to further his Virgin brand into a successful international business whose assets have included an airline, a winery, and a mobile phone company, among many other products and services.

Virgin has humble origins; it was founded by counterculture entrepreneurs Richard Branson, Simon Draper, and Nik Powell in 1972, as an extension of a record store they already owned. Its first release, Music/MikeOldfield's ''Music/TubularBells'', was an eerie, [[EpicRocking 48-minute]] instrumental that hardly seemed like chart-topping material at first. However, when the album was featured on the soundtrack of ''Film/TheExorcist'', it became a critically acclaimed smash. Virgin soon established itself as a home for adventurous ProgressiveRock and {{Krautrock}} performers such as Music/TangerineDream, Kevin Coyne, Hatfield and the North, Faust, Music/HenryCow, Music/SlappHappy and Music/{{Gong}}.
