Hello the digital musicians,

How the music is consuming today? Big question, isn’t it?

Using a study about the artists/labels distributed by Wiseband extract from the dissertation The new music economy (David Raimbaud, 2014), I am going to give you answers.

Reminder: for about 6 years, it seems that a new consumption model is looking to force slowly. It is not about downloading music but to listen to it via the streaming audio without limitations, available on several medias (computers, smartphones, tablets). From the sales report on april 2014, let’s see which of the streaming or the downloading influences most your digital incomes.

It turns out that the streaming audio is the dominant consumption pattern. It represents almost 60% of the total revenues. The incomes of the artists and labels distributed by Wiseband confirm the actual trend observed with both IFPI (at the world level) and SNEP (at the national level) that the access is preferred over the property in the way of listening to music.

 So, do not neglect the platforms of streaming when you select the digital platforms on which your music will appear. 

On which platform can we distribute you?
