Universal Music GmbH (Universal Music Germany, not for release label use! DE subsidiary of Universal Music Group)

Do not use this as release label! Digital platforms often report this label as release label, but this is usually incorrect (excluding possible compilations.)
Actual release labels are reported in copyright field (or as a separate row, like in Spotify), usually written, “A(n) [label name] Release'”, but sometimes showing only label names and nothing else.
