The music industry has been resurrected from the dead, mostly on the back of streaming and 360 deals.

It's the healthiest it's been in decades.

The only thing left to see is what happens if the labels manage to completely swallow the streaming services or if one streaming service prevails and the others die out.

The internet

 

[Henri Christophe]

The thought the music industry is booming right now


Maybe not in terms of music quality but the cost of putting music out is extremely low & the profitability is extremely high.

Its the best time to step in the game or pick up some artists

 

[Charlie Hustle]

Greedy record executives trying to control the narrative...

 

[Clark Griswold]

The end of wax, tapes, and CDs. There is hardly any money to be made anymore.
