WEA Corp., WMG’s US retail sales and marketing company senior vice president, digital sales and marketing Larry Mattera said, "Xbox 360 has been an important partner in our efforts to offer consumers more ways to experience our artists’ music and this is especially true among gamers who are some of the most passionate music fans. With this agreement, we can take advantage of Microsoft’s music platform and provide gamers what they want: music videos from their favorite artists that can be downloaded quickly and easily."

In the coming months, the WMG offering on Xbox Live will continue to grow. "We’ve expanded on the strength of our gaming platform with new entertainment experiences.
