In 2013, after EMI's demise, ownership of Virgin Records passed to Creator/UniversalMusicGroup, which merged it with Creator/MercuryRecords' UK branch to form Virgin EMI Records, with a roster consisting primarily of British/European artists. On June 16, 2020, Virgin EMI Records was renamed EMI Records, reviving the EMI brand; Virgin itself returned to being an EMI imprint. In 2021, after Universal acquired Ingrooves and merged its indie distribution arm Fontana (which had been divested as part of Universal’s EMI acquisition) into Caroline Distribution (itself inherited from Virgin), Universal renamed Caroline as Virgin Music & Artist Services, keeping the Virgin name alive. Outside of this, Universal still keeps active Virgin branches in some countries, most notably Germany and Japan.

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/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} and Music/JanetJackson. Subsidiary labels were established in other countries, including the United States and Canada (previously, North American distribution of Virgin acts was negotiated with a variety of labels, as well as an American arm distributed by Creator/AtlanticRecords). Two sublabels devoted to ClassicalMusic, Virgin Classics and Virgin Veritas, began operations. 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.
