I thought that i should do some research into the music industry because i am creating a music magazine which, in the real world, would be released in to this market. This first bit of information is about how music is sold or listened to in the world today:
Downloads - Both illegal and legal downloads, the most popular site being ITunes.
Physical Items - This can be through the purchase of CD's or records.
Streaming - This is where you can access the music without downloading it, the most popular being Spotify.
Major record labels are the large record labels who own well known artists and promote these to make a profit.
examples of these are EMI , Sony , Universal. These labels also usually own other smaller record labels and businesses.The Independent record labels are smaller labels. Examples of these are679 Artists , Domino and Jeepster.
