Hear Music is the brand name of Starbucks' retail music concept and record label. Hear Music began as a catalog company in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1990 before being purchased by Starbucks in 1999. The Hear Music brand has four components: the music that each location plays; in-store CD sales, including Starbucks exclusives; branded retail stores (which opened shortly after the catalog was formed) and a label distributing their recordings.

  • Hear Music is the brand name of Starbucks' retail music concept and record label. Hear Music began as a catalog company in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1990 before being purchased by Starbucks in 1999. The Hear Music brand has four components: the music that each location plays; in-store CD sales, including Starbucks exclusives; branded retail stores (which opened shortly after the catalog was formed) and a label distributing their recordings. As of December 2006, there are four Starbucks Hear Music Coffeehouses: Santa Monica, California, on the Third Street Promenade; San Antonio, Texas, on the River Walk; Miami, Florida, on the Lincoln Road shopping promenade; and Bellevue, Washington, in Bellevue Square. The original, now-defunct Hear Music Store was located in Berkeley, California. Ten Starbucks locations also have Hear Music "media bars," a service which uses tablet-based PCs to allow customers to create their own mix CDs. The media bars are currently located in Seattle and in Austin, Texas. Additionally, the music section in Canadian bookstore chain Chapters was at one time licensed version of the Hear Music concept; however, the company no longer uses the brand name. Starbucks is one of the top 40 music-oriented retailers. Its biggest seller was Ray Charles' Grammy-winning Genius Loves Company, with total sales of 2.86 million records; 25% of those were sold at Starbucks locations. In 2005, Starbucks announced a partnership with singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette. In a six-week deal, Morissette sold an acoustic version of Jagged Little Pill in Starbucks stores only. The acoustic version was released on June 13, 2005 in order to mark the album's tenth anniversary. This limited availability led to a dispute between Maverick Records and HMV Canada, who retaliated by removing Morissette's other albums from store shelves for the duration of Starbucks' exclusive sale. At the same time that Starbucks closed 600 coffeehouses in July 2008, it was announced that the Hear Music label would be shutting down. One of the four Hear Music stores, in Santa Monica, California, has indicated that its music operation will be permanently closed approximately September 20, 2008. Another Hear Music store in Bellevue, Washington has been converted to a regular Starbucks.

Fue fundada en 1990 como compañía de catálogo en Cambridge, Massachusetts, y posteriormente adquirida por Starbucks en 1999. La marca Hear Music cuenta actualmente con cuatro componentes: la música que acompaña a cada establecimiento de la marca Starbucks, el canal XM 45 Starbucks, tiendas de marca (inauguradas poco después de la formación del catálogo) y un sello de distribución para sus propias publicaciones. A día de diciembre de 2006, existían cuatro Starbucks Hear Music Coffeehouses: en Santa Mónica, California, en San Antonio, Texas, en Miami, Florida y en Bellevue, Washington. La primera tienda, actualmente cerrada, se localizó en Berkeley, California. Actualmente, Hear Music es uno de los cuarenta principales minoristas orientado a la venta de música. Uno de sus mayores éxitos ha sido el álbum de Ray Charles Genius Loves Company, con un total de 2.860.000 ventas, de las cuales el 25% se registraron en tiendas de Starbucks. En 2005, Starbucks anunció una asociación con la cantautora Alanis Morissette. En un acuerdo por seis semanas, Morissette anunció la venta de una versión acústica del álbum Jagged Little Pill de forma exclusiva en tiendas Starbucks. La versión acústica fue editada el 13 de junio de 2005 con el pretexto de celebrar el décimo aniversario de la publicación del álbum. El 31 de julio de 2007, el canal Hear Music XM se suspendió, uniéndose la marca Starbucks al canal 45 para convertirse en Starbucks XM Cafe.
