Warner Music Sweden AB (previously Metronome Records)[1] is a Swedish record company and label,[2] a subsidiary of Warner Music Group.[1] The Swedish division of WMG is a successor to Metronome Records, which was established in 1949 by Anders Burman, Lars Burman, and Börje Ekberg[3] and was based in Stockholm.[1] and concentrated on pop and jazz. Metronome had operations in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany, and signed Alice Babs, Bent Fabric, Sonya Hedenbratt, Nina & Frederik, Ola Magnell, Charlie Norman, Pugh Rogefeldt, Kalle Sändare, Bernt Staf, Owe Thörnqvist, and Cornelis Vreeswijk. Its jazz catalogue, from 1949 to 1965, also included Arne Domnérus, Rolf Ericson, Lars Gullin, Bengt Hallberg, Zoot Sims, and Toots Thielemans.[4] In 1979, Metronome's Swedish arm was purchased by Warner Music Group. In 1998, Anderson Records was merged with Warner Music Sweden.[1]

In February 2013, Warner Music Group acquired most of the European EMI catalogue, including its Swedish back catalogue (renamed as "Parlophone Music Sweden"), from the Universal Music Group.[5]
In June 2016, Warner Music acquired the Swedish compilation label X5 Music Group.[6]
