How Important Is the Music Industry to U.S. GDP?
The overall U.S. music industry is said to have achieved a GDP of $211.8 billion in 2020 – 0.9% of the broader economy’s nearly $24 trillion GDP and a roughly 18% boost from 2017.
Not bad for a Covid year.
Predictably, California led the pack kicking in $51.4 billion in 2020 music industry GDP. New York followed with $24.9 billion, the report shows, as Florida placed third ($9.3 billion) thanks to Latin music growth, Texas took the fourth spot ($8.2 billion), and Tennessee rounded out the top five ($7.5 billion).
Shifting to U.S. music industry employment specifics, the sector is said to have “supported,” both directly and indirectly, 2,539,280 jobs as of 2020 – a jump of 373,737 from 2017.
Who benefited the most from the growth? Interestingly and unexpected for me, it was the manufacturers of musical instruments, audio and video equipment, and music software achieved the largest cumulative boost across 2017 and 2020, 43% to $8.26 billion, per the report.
It says something about the impact of technology on the music industry.

A new report has revealed the United States' music industry GDP as well as a variety of employment and state-level figures.

1°) People criticize AI because it reportedly is killing artists. This may be correct but interestingly, we see more lawsuit being triggered by labels than by artists.
2°) Streaming is killing artists for the same reason that is assigned to AI: making music free. Interestingly, we see more artists criticizing streaming than labels ...
3°) I think you clearly see where I am going. In streaming, music is free but not for everybody ...
4°) Great example of how ridiculous this is getting thanks to Lily Allen.
Lily Allen Says She Makes More From Posting OnlyFans Feet Pics Than Her Spotify Streams
When she posted pictures of her feet and a link to her OnlyFans account on the former Twitter, a fan criticized her by saying, “Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this.”
To this, Allen replied, “Imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify, but earning more money from having 1,000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
5°) I am not a Lily Allen fan, but I think I am about to become one.
6°) Obvious conclusion, we should stop posting music on Spotify and we should put our music on OnlyFans :-)

Lily Allen says she makes more money by posting pictures of her feet on OnlyFans than she does through her Spotify streams.

Face au pillage des IA, des artistes quittent Instagram pour rejoindre Cara, un réseau social conçu pour protéger leurs œuvres. Créée par Jingna Zhang, cette plateforme rencontre un succès fulgurant, mais doit relever d'importants défis.
Je kiff l'idée que je vais approfondir pour éventuellement la soutenir.

I love the conclusion :
"So, what’s our advice?
Once again, please don’t ever make a career out of your earnings on the popular video platform. Trust us. You’ll regret it."
Now you will know why. The chart in the article is ... bewildering!

How much do artists make per stream? Here's a comprehensive breakdown of what streaming music services pay artists and rights owners.

The beginning of the end for streaming companies?
Interesting viewpoint. If you are not making any money from streaming, you don't really care about being on a DSP. If social (ie TikTok) is not giving more money but providing you with more visibility, you may just as well skip streaming companies and go directly on TikTok.
Streaming companies may very well focus on the old catalogue but this is a dying book. Are we about to witness the beginning of the end for streaming companies just because they were too greedy and not providing as much visibility as TikTok? Creators with less than five years’ tenure represented close to half of all music creators in 2023, so it may well be a big shift!

The music creator economy has been long in the making but was thrust into the wider music industry’s limelight with the Covid lockdowns triggering a surge in new creators. As with any bubble, many creator...

Were you aware that Mexico City, Mexico and Santiago, Chile have the highest user base of monthly Spotify users?
Some of the hottest cities for the music economy are located in Latin America and Asia—mostly due to how users in these regions interact on social media. Many cities located in these regions are megacities, which boast a population of well over ten million people and a population density of around 2,000 people per square kilometer.
These cities exhibit strong social sharing behaviors and tend to have younger populations—which contrasts heavily with Western markets that tend to be more reserved and saturated. Latin America hosts the most trigger cities due to their large, interconnected population and high levels of music streaming and social media activity.
There are many ways to take advantage of these cities. Answers can be found ... in the article! Enjoy your reading.

Data analytics platform Chartmetric says certain cities are responsible for helping new artists blow up the way they do. Take a peek.

Pourquoi le Statut d’Auto-Entrepreneur n’est Pas Compatible avec la Production Musicale ?
Article intéressant, même si l'abondance dilue un peu le propos
- l’Obligation de Payer les Artistes Interprètes pour « Clearer » le Master
- l’Impossibilité de Gérer des Contrats de Licence ou de Distribution
me semblent largement suffisant pour illustrer le point
Bonne lecture

Le statut d’auto-entrepreneur, ou micro-entrepreneur, est souvent choisi pour sa simplicité administrative et fiscale. Cependant, ce régime présente des limitations notables, notamment pour ceux qui évoluent dans l’industrie musicale. Au-delà des contraintes financières et fiscales, une pr...

We all know HYBE, the music label of BTS, but do we know the behind the scene? Good summary of where it is at after its recent reshaping.
Point 1 is obvious
Point 2 is an asset to the company given where it is originating from
Point 3 is an interesting difference against traditional labels
Point 4 is a key differentiator but is there space for label superfan app against Patreon
Point 5 seems to be a mere opportunistic move
Your views?

HYBE kicked off the month with new leadership and a new plan to bring the Korean entertainment company into its next era of growth. In a letter to shareholders , outgoing CEO Jiwon Park and new chief Jason...

LES CHIFFRES 2023 DU LIVE EN FRANCE

Progression importante de la fréquentation (+11%) et des recettes de billetterie (+21%) mais modèle économique toujours fortement fragilisé :
- près de 60 % des représentations payantes sont effectuées dans des jauges de moins de 200 places qui totalisent 6 % des recettes de billetterie,
- les jauges moyennes (de 200 à 6 000 places) représente 41 % du nombre de représentations et près de 60 % de la billetterie,
- enfin, les salles de plus de 6 000 places représentent 1 % de l’offre et 34 % des recettes.
En 2023, 64 % des festivals n’atteignent pas l’équilibre, pour un déficit moyen de 81 770 €. Plus notable encore, 18 % des festivals enregistrant un taux de remplissage supérieur à 98 % n’atteignent pas leur seuil de rentabilité.
A noter s'agissant des esthétiques que la variété-pop domine avec 25 % des recettes de billetterie, suivie du rock-metal à 19 % et du rap à 13 %.
Enfin, seulement 25 % des représentation payantes programment au moins un lead féminin.

La croissance de l’économie du live observée en sortie de crise sanitaire se confirme donc en 2023, dans un contexte économique néanmoins marqué par une forte inflation des dépenses. Cette situation contrastée est particulièrement marquée dans le champ des festivals. En dépit d’un nomb...

Interesting review of the K-Pop industry.
While K-Pop is ruling the world, K-Pop industry is sinking.
Why?
Since the deployment of US anti-missile defenses in South Korea, China has actively penalized the Korean culture industry within China. China was one of the long-term core markets for K-Pop. Yet, since the beginning of the year, Korean album sales in China have dropped more than 90%.
It is therefore urgent for K-Pop major labels to continue efforts to diversify their revenue streams focusing on new K-pop acts with more international (English-language focused over Chinese-language focused) components.

As K-pop surges on the global stage, K-pop agencies sink further beneath financial pressure. So what’s going on?

Ne pas rémunérer un artiste-interprète pour ses sessions d’enregistrement en studio est non seulement une violation du contrat social qui nous unit tous, mais c'est surtout s'exposer inconsidérément aux risques suivants :
- inexistence de la cession des droits d'auteur : les tribunaux peuvent décider que le non-paiement annule tout accord de cession de droits et l'artiste-interprète peut alors réclamer la propriété du master ;
- interdiction de diffusion : si un litige sur la rémunération et les droits de propriété n’est pas résolu, l’artiste peut interdire l’exploitation commerciale du master ; cela inclut la diffusion, la vente et le streaming de l’enregistrement ;
- interdiction de distribution : les plateformes de distribution peuvent être contraintes de retirer l’enregistrement de leur catalogue jusqu’à ce que le litige soit résolu ...

Moralité et efficacité juridique se rejoignent donc ...

La rémunération des artistes-interprètes en studio est un sujet crucial dans l’industrie musicale. Cet article explore les obligations de paiement des artistes lors des sessions d’enregistrement, les répercussions sur la propriété des masters en cas de non-rémunération, et fournit des d....

In Q1 2024, Spotify will amend its pro-rata royalty system (Streamshare) in a plan to make three specific major changes to its model:
In short, the three changes are:
1°) Introducing a threshold of minimum annual streams before a track starts generating royalties on Spotify
2°) Financially penalizing distributors of music – labels included – when fraudulent activity is detected on tracks that they’ve uploaded to Spotify
3°) Increasing the minimum length of play-time that each non-music ‘noise’ track must reach in order to generate royalties.
The purpose is to “combat three drains on the royalty pool – all of which are currently stopping money from getting to working artists”.

Exclusive: Music Business Worldwide details Spotify’s plans to introduce a number of new measures in Q1 2024 – and shift $1 billion towards ‘working artists’.

It will no longer be possible to use any attribute of an artist via AI without the consent of the artist.

The No FAKES Act would give artists legal recourse when their digital likeness has been used without their permission
