CD Choice

CD Choice is a Bangladesh-based record label established in 2006 by Mohammad Zahirul Islam Shohel. The company publishes and distributes recorded entertainment in several physical and digital formats, including audio cassettes, compact discs, video compact discs, and DVDs. Its catalog encompasses music as well as dramas, television films, movies, and other audiovisual productions, placing the company within Bangladesh’s broader popular-media and home-entertainment sector rather than limiting it to audio recordings alone. The label became particularly visible through its online video presence. On 2 April 2018, the CD Choice YouTube channel surpassed 7.5 million subscribers. According to the available reference material, this made CD Choice the first institution in Bangladesh to receive YouTube’s Silver Play Button, an award associated with reaching the platform’s subscriber milestone. The achievement indicates a transition from a primarily physical-media publishing model toward direct digital distribution and audience development through a major global video platform. CD Choice’s catalog includes Bengali songs and other locally produced entertainment content. The most-viewed song identified in the reference material is “Mon Pinjira,” with music and composition credited to Rakib Mosabbir. Beyond this title, the available sources do not provide a complete catalog, detailed artist roster, headquarters information, corporate ownership structure beyond the named owner, or current commercial and organizational data. CD Choice is therefore best characterized as a Bangladeshi music and audiovisual publishing label whose documented significance lies in its multi-format production activity and early scale on YouTube.

CD Choice was established in Bangladesh in 2006 by Mohammad Zahirul Islam Shohel. It developed as a record label and audiovisual publisher producing and releasing entertainment in multiple formats. Its documented output includes music recordings, dramas, television films, movies, and related video content. Physical formats associated with the label include cassettes, CDs, VCDs, and DVDs, reflecting the media formats commonly used for Bangladeshi music and filmed entertainment during the company’s early operating period. The label’s business scope distinguishes it from a narrowly defined music imprint. In addition to issuing songs and music videos, CD Choice has been associated with filmed and television-oriented content. This broad catalog allowed the company to participate in several parts of Bangladesh’s popular-media economy, including recorded music, drama production or distribution, and home-video circulation. The available reference material does not identify specific studios, distributors, artists under contract, or a detailed chronology of individual releases, so the precise division between production, publishing, and distribution cannot be established from the supplied sources. A major documented turning point came with CD Choice’s use of YouTube as a distribution and audience-building channel. On 2 April 2018, its YouTube channel exceeded 7.5 million subscribers. The milestone was reported as the first occasion on which an institution in Bangladesh received YouTube’s Silver Play Button. This achievement demonstrates the importance of digital platforms to the label’s reach and suggests that CD Choice’s public-facing operations had expanded beyond physical recordings into large-scale online video publishing. The song identified as the most-viewed CD Choice release is “Mon Pinjira,” for which Rakib Mosabbir is credited with the music and composition. The title provides a documented example of the label’s music catalog, although the supplied sources do not establish its release date, performers, commercial sales, or other chart information. No reliable information is provided about later ownership changes, corporate restructuring, international offices, financial performance, or the label’s current activity. Consequently, CD Choice’s documented history remains centered on its 2006 founding, its multi-format Bangladeshi entertainment catalog, and its 2018 YouTube subscriber milestone.
