History
Raymond and Braun founded RBMG Music in 2008, in conjunction with Island Def Jam, to debut teen singer Justin Bieber.[http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/touring/usher-moves-to-wme-from-caa-1005147842.story Daniel Miller in Billboard.biz: Usher Moves to WME From CAA] Bieber's debut extended play, My World, was the label's first release. It peaked atop the Billboard 200, and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America by March 2010; it has since received triple platinum certification. The label's second release and Bieber's debut album, My World 2.0, also peaked the Billboard 200, received quadruple platinum certification in the U.S., and was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.
As of 2025, the label has continued to release each of Bieber's studio and remix albums, all of which (excluding My Worlds Acoustic) have debuted atop the Billboard 200.
