List of Parlophone artists

This list of Parlophone artists records the more notable musicians that are or have been signed by the company. , the roster includes Lily Allen, Coldplay, Victoria Canal, David Guetta, Gorillaz, The Snuts, Conor Maynard, Aya Nakamura, Soprano and PinkPantheress. Its contemporary label, His Master's Voice, was focused on classical music and ceased issuing popular music recordings in 1967; later known as EMI Classics, it was absorbed into Warner Classics in 2013; afterwards, English Columbia was replaced by the EMI pop label.

Parlophone also operates Regal, a contemporary revival of the historic Columbia Graphophone budget/reissue label founded in 1914, and the French urban music label Rec.118, founded in 2016.

Because Parlophone Records Ltd. absorbed the catalogues of EMI Records UK, Roulette Records, the Columbia Graphophone Company (EMI Columbia), His Master's Voice, non-U.S. former artists of Harvest Records and some European divisions of EMI Music (with new reissues bearing the Parlophone label), only artists whose recordings were originally issued by Parlophone are listed here, either during its time as a subsidiary of EMI (1931–2012) or as a Warner Music sub-label (2013–present).
