'''Warner Chappell Music''' is an American [[music publishing]] company and a subsidiary of [[Warner Music Group]] (WMG), headquartered in New York City. It is one of the three largest music publishers in the world alongside [[Universal Music Publishing Group]] and [[Sony Music Publishing]], representing a catalog of over 1.4 million compositions and more than 150,000 songwriters and composers, with offices in over 40 countries. Warner Chappell administers works spanning virtually every genre of popular and classical music, including the catalogs of [[Cole Porter]], [[Richard Rodgers]] and [[Lorenz Hart]], [[George Gershwin]], [[Jerome Kern]], [[David Bowie]], and many others. The company was formed in 1987 when Warner Communications acquired [[Chappell & Co.]] from [[PolyGram]] for $275 million and merged it with its existing publishing holdings.
