Nickelodeon released its first soundtrack album in 1993. The "Nick Records" name was first used in 2001, when Nickelodeon announced a partnership with Jive Records to form a new record label.[1] In September 2004, Nick Records announced a new partner, Bertelsmann Music Group (later relaunched as BMG Rights Management). In 2007, a year before Sony Music acquired BMG’s labels after the end of their merger, Nickelodeon formed a new partnership with Sony to produce original soundtracks and shows.[2][3] In October 2022, Republic Records announced a worldwide music deal with Nickelodeon.[4]
