  • Atom and His Package Possibly the Smallest Band on the List, Atom & His
    Atom and His Package Possibly the smallest band on the list, Atom & his Package consists of Adam Goren (Atom) and his package (a Yamaha music sequencer) make funny punk songs utilising many of of the package's hundreds of instruments about the metric system, the lead singer of Judas Priest and what Jewish people do on Christmas. Now moved on to other projects, Atom will remain the person who told the world Anarchy Means That I Litter, The Palestinians Are Not the Same Thing as the Rebel Alliance Jackass, and If You Own The Washington Redskins, You're a ****. Ghost Mice With only two members in this folk/punk band their voices and their music can be heard along with such pride. This band is one of the greatest to come out of the scene because of their abrasive acoustic style. The band consists of a male guitarist (I don't know his name) and Hannah who plays the violin. They are successful and very well should be because it's hard to 99 when you have such little to work with. This band is off Plan It X records and they put on a fantastic show. Not only is the band one of the leaders of the new genre called folk/punk but I'm sure there is going to be very big things to come from them and it will always be from the heart. Defiance, Ohio Defiance, Ohio are perhaps one of the most compassionate and energetic leaders of the "folk/punk" movement. Their clever lyrics accompanied by fast, melodic, acoustic guitars make them very enjoyable to listen to.

  • Should Music Labels Pay for Radio Airplay? Investigating the Relationship Between Album Sales and Radio Airplay
    Print Date: 8/20/2002 Should Music Labels Pay for Radio Airplay? Investigating the Relationship Between Album Sales and Radio Airplay by Alan L. Montgomery and Wendy W. Moe August 2002 The authors wish to thank Pete Fader and Capitol Records for the data used in this research. Alan L. Montgomery is an Associate Professor of Industrial Administration at Carnegie Mellon University, GSIA, 5000 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (e-mail: [email protected]) and Wendy W. Moe is an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin, McCombs Schools of Business, Austin, TX 78712-1178 (e-mail: [email protected]). Copyright © 2002 by Alan L. Montgomery and Wendy W. Moe, All rights reserved Should Music Labels Pay for Radio Airplay? Investigating the Relationship Between Album Sales and Radio Airplay Abstract: Managers in the music industry closely monitor both radio airplay of an album as well as the album's sales. Their interest in radio airplay is due to the belief that airplay can increase an album’s sales. Therefore it is natural for managers to attempt to influence radio airplay so as to subsequently impact album sales and ultimately profits. Over the past several years the concept of “pay-for-play” has resurfaced. If direct payments for radio airplay are to be made, then a precise understanding of the dynamic relationship between sales and airplay is needed. Typically radio airplay and album sales both show an exponential declining pattern. It is natural to ask whether both series are evolving concurrently–but independently–or is there some type of dependence? If there is a causal relationship, what is the direction of causality, or is there be a feedback relationship where both series influence each other? The purpose of this paper is to address these modeling questions using vector autoregressive models (VARMA), and show how these models can be used to answer the substantive question of whether the music industry should pay for airplay.

  • Tangible Hedonic Portfolio Products: a Joint Segmentation Model of Music CD Sales
    Tangible Hedonic Portfolio Products: A Joint Segmentation Model of Music CD Sales by Wendy W. Moe and Peter S. Fader The Wharton School University of Pennsylvania Marketing Department 1400 Steinberg Hall-Dietrich Hall Philadelphia, PA 19104-6371 telephone: (215) 898-7603 fax: (215) 898-2534 e-mail: [email protected] July 1999 Wendy W. Moe is a doctoral candidate in Marketing and Peter S. Fader is an Associate Professor of Marketing. The authors thank Capitol Records for the data used in this research and are grateful for the comments of numerous colleagues at Wharton including Eric Bradlow, Dave Schmittlein, and Christophe Van den Bulte. Tangible Hedonic Portfolio Products: A Joint Segmentation Model of Music CD Sales Abstract This paper presents a framework with which to better differentiate between a wide array of hedonic products. Specifically, we define and discuss characteristics of hedonic portfolio products and offer a joint segmentation model appropriate for this class of products. We construct a flexible duration-time model that can be used to capture the dynamic purchase patterns across a broad portfolio of different albums. We apply the model to music CD sales for 20 different albums. The model simultaneously models multiple albums and can accommodate a very large degree of product heterogeneity through product clusters and model covariates. We allow explanatory variables to have a differential impact on both components of the model, i.e., accelerating purchase rates within segment, and/or changing the proportions drawn by each cluster. To illustrate the role of covariates in our model, we discuss the different effects of radio airplay and holiday buying on sales for our sample in the music industry.
