Mercury Records Promotes Tyler Arnold & Ben Adelson

Mercury Records announced key executive promotions in Tyler Arnold, who has been elevated to Chairman and CEO, and Ben Adelson, who has been promoted to President and COO.

Why it matters:

• Both Arnold and Adelson started as interns at Republic

• Arnold very early on signed Post Malone & Metro Boomin while Adelson managed a nascent Young the Giant, as well as signed Noah Kahan & Lord Huron

• The duo held positions of president and GM of Mercury back when they relaunched in 2022

Monte and Avery Lipman explained that with Mercury, "they are building a legacy that honors the label's history by developing, breaking and supporting the next generation of career-defining artists."

What to watch:

• With a successful track record for breaking talented acts at the inception of their careers, will likely continue to build their "authentic and dynamic roster" with backing from Monte & Avery Lipman

• Now at the helm of the label, Mercury is poised for some strategic initiatives that could redefine its role in the industry
