Eros Music was rebranded to Eros Now Music in January this year. The label committed to adding to the experience of its 28 million consumers while also adding a new audience by proactively launching hundreds of non-film hits by new and established artists across genres and geographies. Since then, the company has partnered with multiple streaming, radio, and television platforms and launched music across Hindi & Punjabi with over 30 artists, including Sukhbir, Kanika Kapoor, Daler Mehndi, DJ Aqeel, Bhoomi Trivedi & Bappi Lahiri, along with other new and talented singers.
Eros Now Music is leveraging its market understanding, and data sciences led research to plan the launch line-up. Since January this year, the label has already launched over 40 top-performing independent albums. Its latest popular Canadian artist Praabh Neear’s Punjabi song, ‘Good Morning Girl,’ under the Eros Now Music banner, for instance, has been amongst the top three singles on MTV Beats charts for six weeks in a row.
