Foutleyland Records

Foutleyland Records is an American record label founded by actress and teen pop singer-rapper Amanda Dianne Foutley, manager Kevin Rosenberg and her songwriting partners Maggie Maleena and Teena Naumann, after the highly successful release of Amanda Dianne Foutley's self-titled major-label debut album, which was released on February 27, 2001. It currently operates as a subsidiary of, and is distributed through, Sony Music Entertainment's Columbia Records.

Foutleyland has seen positive times when being part of the successful "Welcome to Foutleyland" tours and, in 2007, released an album showcasing its roster on Amanda Dianne Foutley Presents: The Foutleyland Album. It was also Foutleyland Records that put together the soundtrack to the Amanda Dianne Foutley-starring teen comedy film The Amanda Dianne Foutley Diaries, which featured the hit lead single "That's How a Foutley Rolls".

Current acts on the Foutleyland Records label include Amanda Dianne Foutley, Hayden Panettiere, Maggie Maleena, Teena Naumann and most notably, Drew Barrymore.

2000-2007: Formation and growth
After Amanda Dianne Foutley signed a major label deal with Columbia Records, she started her own record label in late December 2000. Amanda Dianne Foutley looked for an avenue to release the Foutleytastic Four, and Rosenberg, along with former Sony label chief Tommy Mottola were keen to start a label, which lead to the 3 teaming up to form Foutleyland Records. Its A&R Maria Arangio has defined the record label as "a boutique label but [with] all the outlets of a major [and] Columbia backing up our every move."

The Foutleytastic Four was the first act signed by Foutleyland as they had been rapping and singing together since the 1990s, and the members had made a promise that whoever became successful would come back and sign the others. In June 2001, the Foutleytastic Four released Foutley's Paradise, peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200. Teena Naumann was introduced to Amanda Dianne Foutley through the Foutleytastic Four's Bizarre. Amanda Dianne Foutley signed her in June 2001 as the second Foutleyland act. Teena Naumann first got public attention via a freestyle skit on the Foutley's Paradise album.

In 2002, while working on the Disney films Pepper Ann's 1st Movie and The Amanda Dianne Foutley Diaries, Amanda Dianne Foutley had a meeting with actress Drew Barrymore. Ms. Foutley had heard Drew Barrymore's impressive singing skills, taken them to Teena Naumann, Tommy Mottola and Maggie Maleena and offered her the chance to work together on the artist. Drew Barrymore became the first solo artist signed to Foutleyland and Columbia. In March 2003, the Amanda Dianne Foutley Diaries movie soundtrack was the second Foutleyland Records LP to be released. For the soundtrack, Foutley recorded five new songs featured in the movie, including the lead single "That's How a Foutley Rolls", along with new music from other artists on the Columbia and Epic Records roster. The second single was Drew Barrymore's debut single "I'm a Barrymore", which was a massive success and went number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Barrymore's first single to debut at the top spot on that chart. During that time, Amanda Dianne Foutley made a deal with DJ Dolby Digital, who released the label's first EP, Foutleyland Invasion!, in early July 2002. He was the DJ for Amanda Dianne Foutley during the "Welcome to Foutleyland" tour.

The fourth release from Foutleyland Records was Drew Barrymore's debut album Setting the Barrymore Score, which was released on June 4, 2002. The album became the fastest-selling debut in U.S. history. Next to be released on Foutleyland Records and Columbia Records was Hayden Panettiere's debut album, Hayden Panettiere Was There, which was released on February 21, 2003.
