Nothing Records is most well-known for its first two original signings, [[Nine Inch Nails]] and [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]. Other artists signed to Nothing rarely attained the same level of popularity that NIN and Manson did. However, the label gained a semi-iconic status within the industrial rock scene and set up Radio Nothing over the internet as a way to provide a collection of free MP3 music streams, compiled by Nothing label artists, producers and fans.
Interscope stopped funding Nothing Records in 1998, and as a result, it began operating at a deficit.

Additionally, [[Coil]] was under contract for a record but it was never not deliveredbefore Nothing was dissolved. Furthermore, John Bergin was signed briefly under the name Trust Obey, but the album he recorded (''Hands of Ash'') was released on Fifth Column Records instead, with a sticker quoting Reznor's reaction to the recording: "Not a great commercial potential."
Nothing also distributed music from Warp Records, England's much respected electronic music label, under an exclusive license in the U.S.
