Recorded music sales: actual and forecast

Since the media rose up as a significant way of spreading music, total recorded music sales rapidly decreased in a decade. Meanwhile bad effects occured. Total selling goes down by almost 10 billion as it gets to 2012. From the green line that represents the total digital purchasing rate. It is obviously climbing in terms of people download music from internet instead of buying them at store in nowadays. So that the profits for the musician will diminish.

How Dose Music And Media Relate

In nowadays internet are rapidly rising, every single family or every single person we should say has a computer. According to the article, written by Kevin Burns says "Your favorite band is coming to town, and because you know what the internet is, you should definitely know about their concert." By that, we could tell how much media really affects the development of music.

In this particular article, bands put the information online so people can see it easily. Also people could find more details about the upcoming events or concerts. Further more, downloading the music would be another way for fans to be involved. Facebook links, advertisments on the internet are all the mathods to broadcast their music. I have to say that internet really helps. Imagine what happens if there is no internet. Musicians would be still struggling signing a recording company, eventhough they are talented. Sponsors, recording companies, without those there is no way to be popular. However internet changes everything. Principally we can say that media promotes the movement of music.

Music In The Media

Be honest, there are no exact articles which are related to my topic. Yet I am going to take something important and something may be useful for my essay.

In Jeff Chang's article "Fight the Power", it talks about the music not only moves us to tap our toes, it plays a key role in representing and shaping culture. Music helps us realize many connections of the media. Also music helps trace the history of media development. For instances, YouTube is considered as one of the first websites that became popular on the internet. As the popularity of YouTube goes up, a majority of people upload their own videos, music videos and so on. And that is how music was brought to the media, that is how music spread by media.

Introduction

This blog is basically about how music and media relates to each other. The reason why I choose this kind of topic is I like music. I listen all genre of music. I am interested in that the connection between media and music. Let's talk about the title next. "MUS.I.C" means that the music actually can be seeing. Every piece of music has its own story or pictures followed. It is not just for hearing, it is a three dimensional stuff. When you are listening to the certain music, the way you feel and imagine of music can merge to pictures. Back to the topic. My study question would be "How the musicians spread and broadcast the music through the media." Nowadays people can use media to publish their own albums without signing any recording companies. That is a big evolution of music. And it changes because of media only.
