"The music industry changes fast.  That means that novel opportunities and new challenges often appear together on the horizon. And in recent years, the rapid growth of streaming revenue has brought with it a quieter downside: Streaming fraud.

Bucking industry and consumer trends, the leading satellite broadcaster is shifting focus back to in-car listening, as SiriusXM downgrades streaming.

"TikTok has long promoted itself as a major driver of music discovery, and its Year-End Music Report for 2024 reiterates this theme. According to TikTok, 13 of the 16 tracks that reached No.1 the US Billboard Hot 100 were in some way linked to a trend on the platform." #MusicDistribution #Tiktok #IndieArtists #Beatroot #MusicDiscovery

"Spotify created two sharable Wrapped graphics for every artist on the platform – even if they missed their November deadline. They can be found in each Spotify For Artists Account." #Spotify #MusicDistribution #IndieArtists #Beatroot #MusicMarketing

"Type of innovation notwithstanding, these sustaining innovations all give music rightsholders (bigger ones especially) a route to more revenue per user. This is optimisation.

"If there was a consensus about Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef-tracks feud earlier this year, it was that Lamar was already winning on points before delivering a knockout blow by getting half of LA’s rap scene on-stage to dance to his ‘Not Like Us’ track, livestreamed to the world by Amazon. That said, expectations were also that Drake would pick himself up, maybe lick his wounds for a bit, then return to his regular career as one of streaming’s biggest artists – ably supported by Universal Music Group (his recordings partner) and Spotify (the DSP that has promoted his music to hundreds of millions of listeners over the years)." #MusicDistribution #MusicNews #NotLikeUs #UMG #Beatroot
