Editing Polydor Records (section)

=== Twilight years in the United States ===
{{unreferenced section|date=December 2023}}
Over the next few years, Polydor endeavored to sustain its operations through the signing of new artists, and the reissuing of past works, even as it increasingly became less active. In 1998, PolyGram was acquired by [[Seagram]] and combined with its [[Universal Music Group]]. During the merger of these two music powerhouses, Polydor's operations in the United States were assimilated into the [[Interscope-Geffen-A&M]] label group. Meanwhile, its international division remained operational, with its records still being distributed domestically via [[Interscope Records|Interscope]] and A&M.

Today, in North America, the Polydor Records name and logo is mostly used on reissues of older material from its 1960s and 1970s heyday. [[Island Records]] handles the US distribution of most pre-1998 Polydor releases, including the reissues from the British Decca pop/rock collections. In contrast [[Republic Records]] handles reissues from [[James Brown]] and the MGM Records and Verve Records pop catalog. Nevertheless, during the 2010s, Interscope Records occasionally released music by artists such as [[Azealia Banks]] and [[Lana Del Rey]] under the Polydor name and branding.

Polydor joined UMG's [[Interscope Capitol Labels Group]] in 2024.
