Yesterday I was watching the X Factor here in the UK and was just thinking how many artists and which artists are actually signed up to Simon Cowell’s record label. Below is the list of artists under the Syco Music label on Last.fm. There are so many here that I never thought would actually have been under Syco Music. However, I forgot that Syco is under Sony Music and most of these artists in the early days were just pushed under Syco Music before Simon Cowell actually started doing TV shows as his A&R instead of actually getting off his ass and finding the artists.
