Motown Dominated The Charts
Motown was the most successful soul music label, earning a net worth of $61 million. Its success story can be traced back to 1960 when Motown became a record corporation. The company quickly dominated the charts with hit singles such as “Please Mr. Postman” and “Shop Around.”
Their success peaked at the ’60s, where they had 79 records in the top ten list of Billboard Hot 100. Their soulful sound achieved global and mainstream appeal. Not only did Motown become widely popular, but the more critical recognition was its ability to connect people across racial differences through music.
