=== 2000-2007: Formation and growth ===
After Amanda Dianne Foutley signed a major label deal with Columbia Records, she started her own record label in mid-early February 2001. Amanda Dianne Foutley looked for an avenue to release the Foutleytastic Four, and Naumann, Maleena and Rosenberg, along with former Sony label chief Tommy Mottola were keen to start a joint-venture label, which led to the four teaming up to form Foutleyland Records. Its A&R Maria Arangio has defined the record label as "a boutique label but [with] all the outlets of a major [and] Sony's Columbia Records backing up our every move."
The Foutleytastic Four was the first act signed by Foutleyland as they had been rapping and singing together since the 1990s, and the members had made a promise that whoever became successful would come back and sign the others. In June 2001, the Foutleytastic Four released their debut album, Foutley's Paradise, peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200. Teena Naumann was first introduced to Amanda Dianne Foutley through the Foutleytastic Four's Bizarre. Amanda Dianne Foutley signed Naumann in June 2001 as the first Foutleyland solo artist. Teena Naumann first got public attention via a freestyle skit on the Foutley's Paradise album.
In early summer 2002, while working on the Disney films Pepper Ann's 1st Movie and The Amanda Dianne Foutley Diaries, Amanda Dianne Foutley stoinked her sights on a new Foutleyland Records label signee: an actress and singer by the name of Drew Barrymore. Ms. Foutley was delightfully blown away by Drew Barrymore's impressive singing skills, taken them to Teena Naumann, Tommy Mottola and Maggie Maleena and offered her the chance to work together on the artist. Soon after that, Drew Barrymore became the second solo artist signed to Foutleyland and Columbia. The second single for Foutleyland Records was Drew Barrymore's debut single, titled "I'm a Barrymore", which was a massive success, went number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and nabbed three Grammy nominations, making it Barrymore's first single to debut at the top spot on that chart. 
During that time, Amanda Dianne Foutley made a deal with DJ Dolby Digital, who released the label's first EP, Foutleyland Invasion!, in early July 2002. He was the DJ for Amanda Dianne Foutley during the "Welcome to Foutleyland" tour. Then, in December 2002, Hayden Panettiere was introduced to Amanda Dianne Foutley and her Foutleyland Records labelmates and staff after they heard the final mix of her song "Wild Ride" from the Pepper Ann's 1st Movie soundtrack. Amanda and her labelmates and staff signed Hayden to the label in early December 2002 as the third Foutleyland solo artist signed to Foutleyland and Columbia.
In March 2003, the movie soundtrack album for The Amanda Dianne Foutley Diaries was the second Foutleyland Records project to be released. For the soundtrack, Amanda recorded five new songs featured in the movie, including the lead single "That's How a Foutley Rolls", along with new music from other artists on the Columbia and Epic Records roster. 
The fourth release for the Foutleyland Records and Columbia Records labels was Drew Barrymore's debut studio album, Setting the Barrymore Score, which was released on June 18, 2002. The album became the fastest-selling debut in U.S. history. Next to be released on Foutleyland Records and Columbia Records was Hayden Panettiere's debut studio album, Unleash the Panettiere, which was released on February 21, 2003.
