Asia is a British arena rock / prog rock super group that was founded in 1981. Known for their unique blend of progressive rock and melodic pop, Asia quickly rose to fame with their self-titled debut album, which became the best-selling album in the world in 1982. The band's lineup consists of *John Wetton* on bass and vocals, *Steve Howe* on guitar, *Geoff Downes* on keyboards, and *Carl Palmer* on drums.

Influenced by bands such as Kansas, Saga, Yes, and Emerson Lake & Palmer, Asia has created a sound that is both powerful and intricate. Their music combines complex musical arrangements with catchy hooks and memorable melodies. With hits like "Heat of the Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell," Asia has become synonymous with classic rock anthems.

Over the years, Asia has continued to release critically acclaimed albums and tour extensively around the world. Their live performances are known for their energy and musicianship, showcasing the immense talent of each member. Whether you're a fan of progressive rock or simply appreciate great music, Asia is a band that should not be missed.

BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.
