And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Paul Kantner, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, Juan Gabriel, George Michael, Sharon Jones... the list goes on. And yet, while sad 2016 became a meme of its own, there is so much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall volume is up 3% over 2016, fueled by a 76% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. Nearly 650 solo artists, groups and collaborators appeared on the Top 200 Song Consumption chart in 2016, representing over 1,200 different songs. The rapid changes in technology and distribution channels are changing the way we discover and engage with content. Reaction times are shorter and current events ERIN CRAWFORD can have an instant impact on consumption.

Since the late 1980s, Korean pop music has aspired to be a more advanced industry and establish an international presence, based on the economic leap and democratization as a springboard. Contemporary K-pop, originating from the underground dance scene in the 1980s, succeeded in transforming Korean pop music into a modern and youth-oriented genre with a new style dubbed "rap/dance music." The rise of dance music changed the landscape of Korean popular music and became the cornerstone of the K-pop idol music. In the era of globalization, K-pop’s unique aesthetics and strategy, later termed “Cultural Technology,” achieved substantial returns in the international market. Throughout this evolution, Korean Americans were vital players who brought K-pop closer to its mission of modern and international pop music. In the age of globalization, K-pop's modernity and identity are evolving in a new way.

  • Achievement in the South Korean Music Industry Björn Boman1
    6 International Journal of Music Business Research, October 2019, vol. 8 no. 2 Achievement in the South Korean music industry Björn Boman1 Abstract South Korean Pop music, commonly referred to as K-pop, emerged in the 1990s and reached regional and global recognition in the early 2000s, with a peak in 2018 with the two groups BTS and BLACKPINK. Their relative global success is explained in this article as an interplay of a G-L-G (Global-Local-Global) business model, beauty, ar- tistic and personality skills at the individual level, and idiosyncratic factors, such as particular songwriting capabilities and hit songs. This interplay was designed for market penetration in the US and UK. Keywords: K-pop, Hallyu, South Korea, Korean wave, BTS, BLACKPINK 1 Introduction Many might associate contemporary South Korea with high Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results, as well as rapid technological and economic development since the 1980s. Another ele- ment which is linked to modern South Korea is its pop cultural industry, especially K-pop, an umbrella term for South Korean popular music. The appeal of K-pop has been ascribed to physically attractive group mem- bers, globally fashionable pop music, and synchronized dance perfor- mances (Oh 2013). While several K-pop acts such as Big Bang, TVXQ, Girls' Generation, Super Junior, and EXO have reached local (South Ko- rea) and regional (East Asia) success (Lie 2013; Lie 2014; Oh 2013), these acts have failed to penetrate the major music markets of the US and UK. An attempt was made in the US by Girls' Generation with the single and music video "The Boys" in 2011, which was launched in an English ver- sion.

To stand atop a mountain, or even just tall hills, and be lapped in violently alternating currents of cool and warm wind is both serene and trepidatious. This is what I imagine Debussy’s recurring visits to the hills of Anacapri, a small town on an island off the coast of Italy, sounded and felt like. In this prelude, we hear the contrast between still and turbulent, all the while basking in colors of sunlight, rhythm, ocean waves, and harmony. - Joshua Sadinsky Unlike some of Debussy’s later piano works, Ballade—also known as Ballade slave—retains many of the melodic and harmonic qualities of Late Romanticism.

Hyniea (Niea) Gardner A Thesis in the Field of Anthropology and Archaeology for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University May 2019 © May 2019 Hyniea (Niea) Gardner Abstract In 2016 the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) reported that the Korean music industry saw an overseas revenue of ₩5.3 trillion ($4.7 billion) in concert tickets, streaming music, compact discs (CDs), and related services and merchandise such as fan meetings and purchases of music artist apparel and accessories (Kim 2017 and Erudite Risk Business Intelligence 2017). Korean popular music (K-Pop) is a billion-dollar industry. Known for its energetic beats, synchronized choreography, and a sound that can be an amalgamation of electronica, blues, hip-hop, rock, and R&B all mixed together to create something that fans argue is “uniquely K-Pop.” However, further examination reveals that producers and songwriters – both Korean and the American and European specialists contracted by agencies – tend to base the foundation of the K-Pop sound in hip-hop and R&B, which has strong ties to African-American musical traditions.
