To target groups and one really gives them feature cool sound tracks dance moves and virtual in game concerts because china im just someone with. This streaming platforms like apple music these and spotify dominate the music market today raking in huge sums of money and only a tiny fraction of that goes to the artists on some platforms they earn less than 1. 00 cent per stream to make a decent living they need hundreds of thousands of plays for example an artist would be 80000. 00 plays on the napster streaming platform just to the u. S. National minimum wage roughly 1400 u. S. 1. 20 players would be needed on apple music and over 300001 spotify and amazon. Can use issues make a living like that its tough but its not all black and white you know we met up with a german band who say despite the downsides there are benefits to spotify. The and us met have been with folk pop. For 11 years their albums feature german english and arabic lyrics and have made it into german charts at 1st they didnt want them his accounts part of. 2 45 spotify definitely exploits musicians and its you have an almost nothing 3 streams. Its not even enough for major artists to go by. Making an album is a lot of work and costs a lot to record. At 1st we didnt really like the idea of making your music available for free and people would. Have played over here a winning them and loyal fan base today their music is on spotify after all with success their latest single happy from the new album has already been streamed half a 1000000 times about 250000 fans listen to their chains each month to ask what users can discover your music on spotify even if you dont belong to a record label. And if you music gets streamed a lot and recommended to other people then you might feature a playlist thats what swayed their opinion some of them and work and. Their current music is available on other streaming platforms too but 90 percent of their listeners come from spotify since signing up in 2015 hours music has been streamed about 25000000. 00 times in 78. 00 Different Countries streaming platform. I mean about also changing the way artists create music. As an overwhelming choice of music now if you get bored of the song you skip it i guess that the scourges artist for producing elaborate 10 minute tracks with 3 minutes solos and long intros so yeah on the people who are adapting to that. On average songs have become shorter over the years in 2000 the u. S. Top 100 singles tended to be over 4 minutes long but in 2018 the average length for just 3 and a half minutes why in part because of the 32nd rule applied by spotify and other streaming platforms it means only receive money if the song has been streamed half a minute or more this is changing how artists craft songs long gone are the days when songs that long winded intros for example for more on that heres chris of a blast of Berlin School of popular its hard to get my over one hits today following different formula from take just to biebers love yourself the song jumps right in with lyrics from the get go. This is a target and the listener knows exactly what the tracks about. The same time for an intro. The 1st few bars of a song are crucial they determine whether the listener sticks with it also gets to the next the vast competition for music has given many listeners the short Attention Span and so the 1st 30 seconds. I need just 20 seconds to never listen to the whole song. The Music Industry started making money from streaming services in 2510 years later streaming about phones were already making 2600000000 euros in revenue and since 2018 streaming has become the biggest source of income for the Music Industry last year it made up 56 percent of global music revenue thats why artists are under pressure to make their music Available Online play lists are also a crucial part of these major streaming platforms if an artist is featured on one it can seriously because theyre streaming figures and revenue but who curator these playlist. Popular. As a consequence a fly is promoted on play list which drives up streaming figures even further. Algorithms define who makes it as an artist today. So its a listen only contain popular songs this is based on certain metrics. A song will move up a playlist the more it can stream. But there are other play lists with the structure is more important the songs are added in a way that the chief still writes musical art. Companies have begun to help artists get those songs on to play this to market them like replace the network now owned by sound cloud musicians are now less dependent on music labels but even more so uncensored algorithms. This is something that pop professor marcus klein are criticized as. Quite subtle fortunately these days producing music is less about creating and more about calculation because our grid miscalculate how many people like what and when they listen to. The it will Music Production is becoming much more of those numbers and less about cultivating a future for society because there. d is pop music no longer a revolutionary force well despite the criticism digitalisation is providing new scope for creativity like the video sharing app ticked up some artists even have a global hit song because of take thought if their song features on one of the popular to talk challenges like then thats x. Were all told. With the good up of viral sensations. Streaming services and social media platforms represent a great new way for fans and musicians to connect especially now during times of social distancing. We have a spring turbulent time with 26. 00 or 27. 00 concerts sort of even for Something Like all dansko the tour was cancelled because its a shame because we just finished recording our latest album of it at the market and we were looking forward to going on tour with its and. Instead to her as a band member staged a concert on a rooftop in cologne live streamed it for all their fans 2 and fortunately there too been then band mates couldnt join them because of the knock down. The show most important that funds get to see bands in a live context even if its online. So that anyone can you see its all over social media right now. Streaming is a great way for artists to stay present during lockdown james blunt recently stream to show from hamburgs elbert philharmonic home. And artists like billy eilish the Rolling Stones and green days but in Joe Armstrong live stream performances from their own homes for the one will together at home Charity Event to on the health care workers. In addition to their Live Streaming the publish to music video made from 60 fan videos filmed at home the clip has around 50000 hits on you tube. I dont want. The i think a military only way to stay in touch with fans these days because by Live Streaming concert life. After thinking for the past gigs Available Online you know come. To will now take place in autumn this year provided not down. I know that if not theyll just keep performing on 9. Ok so digital platforms are great for musicians to connect with fans and for fans to stream as much music as they want whenever they want but theres a catch companies are collecting vast quantities of personal data professor nick cauldron of the London School of economics explains more. The way we sat or jumped in front of our record player was unknown to the Record Companies they were blind to that now theyre not the vision the market is today is a relation which is continuous as long as you are using the product the product will be tracking new. Companies constantly analyze our music listening behavior to keep us on platforms for as long as possible platforms like french streaming site days or any user hits play they should in theory only hear music that they want to hear for the 1st we need to establish an ongoing relationship with them we have to learn what music to enjoy in a monday morning for example when its not on a friday evening. Some artists have launched exclusive Online Events like us soul singer erykah badu one of my favorite artists who created an interactive Concert Series the idea is that fans pay a fee to watch and then have a say what happens like which song will be played next streaming has made it extremely easy for us to consume music but also harder for artists to make a living so its on us to support musicians we care about for example by seeing their shows online or one day in real life.
