Fox Business Briefs: New York Stock Exchange reopens trading floor two months after the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to close; Warner Music looking to raise $1.8 billion in its IPO on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
Madonna has reportedly left her label with Interscope Records after nearly 10 years and is eyeing a deal with Warner Records, according to The Sun.
The pop superstar signed her first-ever record deal in 1982 with Sire Records, which is owned by Warner Music Group and distributed by Warner Records (known as Warner Bros. Records until 1999), so the move would be a return to her roots.
The "Like a Prayer" singer apparently inked a three-album deal with Interscope in 2011 and just recently decided to part ways with the company, The Sun reported.
