You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.223.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The label is a joint venture with [[Universal Music Group|Universal]], and has developed from their previous partnership with the All Around the World dance music label. All Around the World (also known as '''AATW''') originated in [[Blackburn]]  and has had success with artists such as [[N-Trance]], [[Cascada]], [[Scooter (band)|Scooter]], [[Dannii Minogue]], [[Armin van Buuren]], [[Lost Frequencies]], [[N-Dubz]], [[Loud Luxury]], [[Skepta]], [[Starley (singer)|Starley]], [[Yolanda Be Cool]], and many more.

==History==
===All Around the World===
All Around the World was founded in 1991 in [[Blackburn]], Lancashire by record store owner and former Phonogram employee Cris Nutall, who decided to team up with former BMG employee Matt Cadman to launch the label.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.xploded.co.uk/about-us/ | title=About Us - ))</ref>((citation needed|date=December 2017|reason=First AATW release 'Love Decade - Dream On' (June 1991))) Throughout the 1990s, AATW established an abundance of British [[electronic music]] acts including [[Love Decade]], 2 Funky 2, [[Bus Stop (band)|Bus Stop]], [[Porn Kings]] and [[N-Trance]] - who achieved a number two UK single with their track "[[Set You Free (N-Trance song)|Set You Free]]" on the label in 1995.

The 2000s saw the label expand with the signing and development of artists such as [[Flip & Fill]], [[Ultrabeat]], [[Cascada]], [[Dannii Minogue]], [[Scooter (band)|Scooter]], [[Darren Styles]], [[N-Dubz]], [[Skepta]] and many more. During the early 2000s, AATW also founded the long-standing ''[[Clubland (brand)|Clubland]]'' compilation album series, as well as various other branded compilation titles released in partnership with [[Universal Music Group|UMTV]]/ UMOD. Other compilation series' included ''Rock the Dancefloor'', ''Floorfillers'', ''Ultimate Club Anthems'', ''Love2Club'', ''100% Chilled'', ''Ultimate NRG'' and ''Dance Mania''.

In March 2008, AATW organised a series of [[Clubland (brand)|Clubland]] arena events, followed by a second tour, Clubland Live 2, which took place in December 2008 and a third in 2010.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.clubland.fm/news/news/284/2011-clubland-tour-packages-now-available.html |title=2011 Clubland Tour Packages Now Available: News |publisher=clubland.fm |date=2011-04-14 |access-date=2011-12-28))</ref>

In 2012, AATW became more strongly integrated with Universal's compilation division UMTV as Nuttall and Cadman became the joint Managing Directors of the division, a role which saw them overseeing the ''Pop Party'', ''Dreamboats & Petticoats'' and ''NOW'' compilation brands.<ref name="auto">((cite web | url=https://www.xploded.co.uk/about-us/ | title=About Us |website=Xploded))</ref>

===Xploded Music===
In 2017, AATW founders Cris Nuttall and Matt Cadman sold the record label and Clubland branding to Universal with the duo staying on at the label for another year until their new label Xploded Music, was ready to launch. In 2018, Xploded Music launched with many of the AATW staff, including A&R Manager James Hill, keeping their roles at the new imprint,<ref name="auto"/> and artists such as N-Dubz and Darren Styles staying with Nuttall and Cadman as well as releasing music from new signings such as; Loud Luxury, Armin van Buuren, Sam Ryder, Ben Nicky, Timmy Trumpet, PBH & JACK, MENTIS and more.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.xploded.co.uk/featured-content/darren-styles/ | title=Darren Styles |website=Xploded))</ref><ref>((cite web | url=https://www.xploded.co.uk/xploded-artists/ |title=Artists |website=Xploded))</ref>

Since 2021, the AATW brand has been discontinued by Universal with the TV Channels broadcasting licences transferring fully into the hands of Universal. In 2022, late 2000s AATW-signed act N-Dubz<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.xploded.co.uk/featured-content/n-dubz/ | title=N-Dubz |website=Xploded Music ))</ref> released their comeback single<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/n-dubz-unveil-comeback-single-charmer-and-announce-extra-shows | title=N-Dubz unveil comeback single "Charmer" and announce extra shows ))</ref><ref>((cite web | url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/n-dubz-confirm-reunion-new-single-and-uk-arena-tour-buy-tickets-3227224 | title=N-Dubz announce their reunion, new single and UK arena tour | website=[[NME]] | date=17 May 2022 ))</ref> after 11 years away.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/n-dubz-announce-new-single-charmer-and-uk-arena-tour-tulisa-dappy-and-fazer-are-reuniting-after-11-year-hiatus__36358/ | title=N-Dubz announce reunion after 11 year hiatus | website=[[Official Charts Company|Official Charts]] ))</ref> with the single, called "Charmer", getting the label's first Top 40 hit.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/ | title=Official Charts Company | website=[[Official Charts Company|Official Charts]] ))</ref>

==Former television channels==
On 28 January 2008, All Around the World launched their own TV channel, [[Clubland TV]]. The channel broadcasts official music videos and acted as a platform for emerging dance and pop music artists as well as featuring programmes focused around bygone eras. Primarily the channel broadcasts dance music videos.

As of 2022, Clubland TV focuses only on throwback dance music, as the sale of AATW and the channel to UMOD meant many of the partnerships with other record labels ended, making it more difficult for the channel to have rights to play new music.

((citation needed|date=August 2013))

All Around the World also owned three other music TV channels, branded in partnership with [[Now That's What I Call Music#Original United Kingdom and Ireland series|''Now Music'']].

* [[Now 70s]]
* [[Now 80s]]
* [[Now 90s]]

In 2017, following the sale of AATW, all of the channels were acquired by Universal, who continue to broadcast the channels on Sky and Virgin Media.
