  • 2015 Nielsen Music U.S. Report
    2015 NIELSEN MUSIC U.S. REPORT 2015 NIELSEN MUSIC U.S. REPORT Copyright © 2016 The Nielsen Company 1 WELCOME ERIN CRAWFORD SVP ENTERTAINMENT & GM MUSIC Welcome to Nielsen’s annual Year End Music Report, a summary of consumption trends and consumer insights for 2015. Going into the year, we had recently modernized the industry measuring stick - the Billboard 200 chart - to include track downloads and streamed songs in addition to traditional album sales. The new chart reflected how fans now consume music, and in 2015 they were consuming more than ever. Total consumption, including sales, streams and track downloads, was up, fueled by the continued surge of streaming, which nearly doubled last year. And yet the biggest music consumption story of the year was not even available on streaming services. We were awed by Adele’s record-crushing 25. We monitored daily activity across sales, streaming, airplay and social, and were thrilled to report on every new milestone she achieved, incredible by any measuring stick. We also “listened” to over 500,000 music consumers in 2015. We learned about their consumption behaviors and preferences. We learned about their social activity – how they engage with their favorite artists, and how they use it to follow festivals and discover new music. And importantly, we also showed brands the power and value of music fans; how to reach them, and how to connect with them. As advocates for the business of music, we are passionate about delivering the most valuable, actionable, insights into music fans - and believe that smart data can inform creativity.

  • Measuring Music 2015 Report Acknowledgements
    MEASURING MUSIC 2015 REPORT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Measuring Music is created on behalf of UK Music and its UK MUSIC MEMBERS members to highlight the economic contribution of the music industry to the UK economy. 2015 is the third edition of the report, which was first published in 2013. When we published Measuring Music last year, Tony Clayton, then Chief Economist of the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) said: “The IPO welcomes UK Music’s collaborative research on the economic contribution of music. This excellent piece of work meets both the IPO’s Standards of Good Evidence and National Accounts standards.” We are pleased to continue to work collaboratively with the IPO on research, as well as with other relevant bodies including Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS). In particular, we are grateful to the ONS for allowing us access to the Virtual Microdata Lab (VML), which has enabled us to apply a bespoke methodology for the calculation of the music industry’s GVA. We are grateful for collaboration from all parts of the music industry with this research. Over the past two years in excess of 1,500 musicians have responded to our survey, giving us a vital and unique insight into their careers. In addition, accountants to some of the UK’s leading music acts have provided unprecedented insight into their clients’ earning structures. We have worked with all UK Music members to survey their memberships. This research would not be possible without this enthusiastic participation and vital data inputs from them. UK Music is the umbrella organisation which represents the collective interests of the UK’s commercial music industry- from artists, musicians, songwriters and composers, to record labels, LIVE MUSIC GROUP music managers, music publishers, studio producers, music • Association of Independent Festivals licensing organisations and the live music industry.
