Not to be confused with Decca Records.

Decca Label Group is Universal Music Group's classical music record label group based in the United States - in addition to new releases, it also manages the huge back catalog of classical recordings held by UMG (through the various labels that make up the group). The Decca Label Group comprises two divisions: Universal Musical Classical and the American operations of Decca Records. In 2005, Universal Classics Group was named 3[1] on Billboard's Top Classical Crossover Label and 2[2] on Billboard's Top Classical Label.

Although the group's primary focus is on Western classical music, it also has subsidiaries dealing with jazz and musical theater. The main Decca label also issues some pop and country releases.
