In recent years, music streaming has become an integral part of our daily lives. With the rise of platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and TikTok, it's no surprise that the way we consume music has changed dramatically.
According to a report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), global recorded music revenue grew by 16.5% in 2020, reaching $19.1 billion. This significant increase is largely attributed to the growth of streaming services.
Social media has revolutionized the way we discover new music. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have become essential tools for artists to reach their audience.
In fact, a study by the music industry research firm, Next Big Sound, found that 70% of participants aged 18-24 discovered new music on social media platforms.
As the music industry continues to evolve, it's essential to stay ahead of the curve. With AI-generated music on the rise, we can expect a significant shift in the way we create and consume music.
Moreover, the increasing popularity of virtual events and concerts will likely change the way artists connect with their fans.
