  • Live-Streaming As a Marketing Channel in the Swedish Music Industry
    DEGREE PROJECT IN MEDIA TECHNOLOGY, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2016 Live-streaming as a marketing channel in the Swedish music industry FREDRIK LILJEQVIST KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND COMMUNICATION Live-streaming as a marketing channel in the Swedish music industry Live-streaming som marknadsföringskanal i den svenska musikbranschen By: Fredrik Liljeqvist, [email protected] Submitted for the completion of the KTH program Media Technology, Master of Science in Media Technology – Media Management Date of submission: 2016-05-31 Supervisor: Vygandas Simbelis, KTH, Department of Media Technology and Interaction Design. Examiner: Mario Romero, KTH, Director of the Human-Centered Visualization Group at the Department of Computational Science and Technology. Abstract The music business is one of the industries most affected by digitalization of content and distribution channels. As industry revenue shifted from principally physical to digital channels in 2015, while being the business with the largest presence and most popular accounts in virtually all social media platforms - the current state of the music industry is change. This has led industry professionals into searching for new and innovating ways of reimagining the business model of music distribution. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of video live-streaming as an addition to the current social media channels used to market artists. This was done through looking into what industry professionals think of the subject in terms of strategic reasoning and potential, observing an interactive live-stream with a Swedish boy band, and a questionnaire directed towards end-users and listeners of Swedish popular artists to define what their stance is towards music-related social media in general, and live-streaming in particular.

On paper, the pairing of Melissa McGurren and Austin Huff should work perfectly as the morning team at Audacy “US99” WUSN Chicago. She’s a familiar voice in the market with 22 years of history at a crosstown station. He’s a Nashville native who grew up around the city’s music scene and has connections in the sports world. Even though neither has worked at a country station before coming to WUSN, they appear to have all the elements for success — comfort level, lifestyle music. It’s all there. Real life doesn’t always play out like planned scenarios. This time, though, things seem to be going okay.

  • 100 Songs - Världens Modernaste Skivbolag?
    2013-03-27 11:46 CET - ”Vi älskar singlar!” 100 Songs - världens modernaste skivbolag? Det är så enkelt att bolaget ofta får frågan ”Vad är haken?”. Svaret: Det finns ingen! ”100 Songs släpper bara singlar. Inga bindande långa skiv- eller artistkontrakt. Om vi gillar det vi hör, skriver vi ett enkelt avtal och sedan finns låten tillgänglig över hela världen.” 100 Songs bildades i mars 2012 av Ola Håkansson, Klas Lunding och Ben Malén, alla med lång erfarenhet, stor framgång och näsa för hitlåtar. När sedan nytillträdde VD’n Tommy Leino knöts till teamet i november 2012, började strukturen falla på plats ordentligt. Idén är enkel: Man hittar låten och släpper den. Samarbetet med X5 Music gör att man snabbt kan släppa singeln digitalt och göra den tillgänglig över hela världen. Bolagets promotionteam breddar sedan vägen för musiken - inte alltid de rent traditionella. Stor vikt läggs t ex vid sociala medier. Första singeln som släpptes på 100 Songs, ”Finders Keepers” plockades snabbt upp av EMI i Tyskland och Sverige. Artisten bakom låten heter Miriam Bryant . Singeln fick snart stor spridning, både bland fans och på radio. I Tyskland klättrade singeln upp till topp 40 på airplaylistan. I Sverige är Miriam utsedd till Årets stjärnskott och debutalbumet släpps i dagarna. Ett rejält kvitto på att man faktiskt inte behöver vänta flera år på ett genombrott. I november 2012 drog 100 Songs igång satsningen 100 Live, ett återkommande arrangemang för branschfolk, media, artister och musikälskare; en perfekt plattform för osignade artister att visa upp sig för musikbranschen och nätverka. Ytterligare spännande förgreningar och samarbeten i det svenska bolaget kommer att presenteras inom kort.

  • A Few Words from Gary Churgin, HFA President &
    hfa soundcheck October 2009v9n7 A few words from Gary Churgin, HFA President & CEO There has recently been a swirl of stories in the media regarding “pending and unmatched” monies owed to publishers by the major labels and the roles of NMPA and HFA. I’d like to set the record straight regarding HFA’s role in this effort to obtain publishers’ proper royalty payments. The term “pending & unmatched” refers to estimated royalties that have not been paid to a Publisher or HFA because a record label has not obtained a license or matched a license to a royalty obligation. A record label is often unable to complete a license request when it lacks information about a composition, when that composition’s ownership is in dispute, or when it believes that it is entitled to a reduced or controlled rate. For at least a decade, HFA’s pending and unmatched program has enabled money to move through the system while licensing matters are sorted out. As part of our royalty compliance exam process, a number of labels – though not all of them - have agreed to make estimated advance payments to HFA for pending and unmatched transactions. In this manner, monies are being held by HFA, an organization controlled by the music publishers, rather than by the record labels, until they can be paid out. As licenses are obtained, the royalties are deducted from the HFA “P&U” advances and paid to the specific publishers. Newly-released, but unlicensed, product results in estimated royalties being added to the HFA P&U advance.
