LW Entertainment has appointed independent label <\/span>The Other Songs<\/span><\/a> to manage Andrew Lloyd Webber\u2019s music\u00a0<\/span>catalogue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Other Songs will manage both back catalogue and new music releases in partnership with <\/span>The Orchard<\/span><\/a>, who will oversee music distribution across Lloyd Webber\u2019s body of work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Other Songs (founded by Andrew Lloyd Webber\u2019s sons Alastair and Billy Webber) and The Orchard have worked with LW Entertainment (formerly <\/span>The Really Useful Group<\/span><\/a>) on recent new releases, including\u00a0<\/span>a UK No.1 cast album for Sunset Blvd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The label recently released the Evita cast album, which garnered a million streams in 24 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of October, the Lloyd Webber catalogue hit its biggest-ever single-day streaming peak, fuelled by viral Phantom Of The Opera <\/span>TikTok<\/span><\/a> trends. More than 200,000 original Halloween-week fan creations racked up hundreds of millions of impressions across\u00a0<\/span>social media platforms.<\/p>\n

The Other Songs\u2019 spans <\/span>recordings<\/span><\/a>, publishing and management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andrew Lloyd Webber<\/span><\/a> said: \u201cI am very excited that The Other Songs will be partnering with me to represent my past and future recording work. After the success of their albums of Starlight Express, Sunset Blvd and Evita, I am thrilled that we will now have an exclusive long-term relationship. The Other Songs\u2019 mission to doggedly champion songwriters, at a time when they have and are being treated as second-class citizens in the music industry, has hugely resonated with me. I am really looking forward to working with the new artists\u00a0<\/span>the collaboration will bring me at a time when I am writing as much if not more than I ever have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alastair Webber, co-founder, The Other Songs<\/span><\/a>, said: \u201cOver the past year, over 4.5 million people have seen an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, reflecting the sheer scale and global cultural impact of his work. Our focus now is to ensure Andrew\u2019s recording catalogue connects\u00a0<\/span>with new generations, while also giving him the tools to collaborate with today\u2019s leading songwriters, producers and artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the success of Sunset Blvd and Evita, we\u2019re very proud to announce a deeper partnership with Andrew and the forward-thinking teams at LW Entertainment and The Orchard, as we continue to build on one of the most uniquely positioned and best-known privately owned music catalogues in the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy Webber, co-founder, The Other Songs, said: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with LW Entertainment on an iconic catalogue. Musical theatre\u2019s reach is broader than it\u2019s often given credit for, and the opportunity to unlock its full potential is significant. Our focus is careful guardianship and bold growth, bringing these works to new audiences with the innovative teams at LW Entertainment and The Orchard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brad Navin, CEO, The Orchard<\/span><\/a>, said: \u201cWe are incredibly excited to deepen our relationship with LW Entertainment and The Other Songs to include Andrew Lloyd Webber\u2019s extraordinary music catalogue. Andrew is experiencing a remarkable renaissance with the\u00a0<\/span>success of Sunset Blvd, Evita and Masquerade, among many other projects. The Orchard is committed to maximising this momentum, leveraging our global infrastructure to bring both his iconic, era-defining works and new creative endeavors to an even wider and more diverse audience worldwide, ensuring his legacy continues to thrive across all media and territories.\u201d<\/p>\n

James McKnight, CEO of LW Entertainment, said: \u201cBuilding on decades of strong record sales all over the world, we have reshaped our relationships with our music partners. Stepping into a new era with a new strategy and approach, we are delighted to forge a much broader and deeper partnership with The Other Songs and The Orchard now leading on Andrew Lloyd\u00a0<\/span>Webber\u2019s incredible body of recorded work. With one of the largest and most engaged fan bases in the world, we know the opportunities are limitless and we are excited to work with these innovative organisations to realise our shared, global ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n
