    April 18, 2016, Issue 495 Inside The ACMs With RAC Clark Our annual interview with Exec. Producer RAC Clark offers insight into the 51st ACM Awards (4/3) and many of its notable performances. CA: Let’s hit the numbers first and talk about this year’s ratings... RAC: They sucked. I’ll just say that. They sucked. [Ed. Note: 11.18 million viewers, 2.3 rating/7 share]. But it was one of the more competitive nights we’ve had since being up against the American Idol finale a few years back. The Walking Dead was big. The iHeart awards didn’t rate that well, really, so I don’t think that hurt us. The Walking Dead really got us and Steve Harvey’s Little Big Shots is a new hit on NBC that actually beat us in the second half-hour at 8pm. We won the night, but ratings were down year- to-year after a spectacular year in Dallas with the 50th. When we talked to producer Robert Deaton about the CMAs, he said, “I’ve never completely understood wanting to compare us against the AMAs, Grammys, ACMs or In A Big Way: EMI/Nashville’s Eric Paslay (third Oscars.” His point was, an awards show’s competition is from right) with (l-r) WEBG (Big 95.5)/Chicago’s Erik what it’s facing that night, not something that’s airing in Zachary and Mason, EMI’s Chris Fabiani and the an entirely different month.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

    April 25, 2016, Issue 496 Spotify: A Massive AMT? Streaming services’ impact, or lack thereof, in paying rights holders remains a thorny topic across all levels of the business. Just ask Taylor Swift, whose music is still not available on Spotify. However, a growing number of artists are celebrating and celebrated by that company’s ability to positively impact careers. From Sam Hunt to Maren Morris and beyond, Spotify’s growing music listening ecosystem offers unique fan connections and perhaps unprecedented information about listening behavior. Taken together, those factors are making a difference in the music business and, to a lesser degree, at radio. “These are people who are active listeners – a captive audience we’ve never had before that allows us to do research we’ve never Kenny Watchers: Blue Chair/Columbia’s Kenny been able to do,” says artist manager Greg Chesney hangs with radio friends at Saturday’s Hill. “We could never have afforded research (4/23) launch of the Spread The Love Tour in Auburn, AL. on a sample size as large as what the streaming services are giving us.” The first time Hill felt Spotify’s influence was Greg Hill with Jana Kramer and “I Got The Boy.” “We’re Kenny Lays Out Big Spread in a battle [at radio] with a female artist and Blue Chair/Columbia’s Kenny Chesney and 50,000 fans saw it pop up on Spotify’s Viral 50,” he says. launched his Spread the Love Tour Saturday (4/23) in Alabama at “Last June was touch-and-go [on the singles charts], but on Spotify Auburn University’s Jordan-Hare Stadium.
