In July 2011 it was finally dissolved into two separate labels: the RCA Music Group and Epic Records which took Jive subsidiaries (LaFace, Battery, etc.)

[1][2] Bob Anderson and Kevin Twitchell led the sales department for the new group, and John Fleckenstein was named senior VP of international.

[5][6] Weiss replaced longtime music exec Clive Davis, who became the Chief Creative Officer.

Staff and artists associated with Jive were moved to a restructured Epic Records which is aimed to focus on (mostly) urban music.

RCA Music Group remained on its own, and even took on some of the non-urban artist from Jive, such as notable pop superstar Britney Spears.

RCA/Jive consisted of several flagship record labels, which originally formed part of BMG before being absorbed into Sony's operations.

Initially the group consisted of LaFace, Volcano, Silvertone and Jive, though later expanded to include other labels.

Because of the stylistic focus of the new group (largely urban music), some of Jive's non-urban artists, such as Britney Spears, stayed with RCA Records.
