Summary: Hypebot article "5 Music Industry Predictions 2019: Fan Clubs, Apple Music, Chart Decline and More" by Haulix Daily. Fan clubs are back and more beneficial than ever. There’s also a problem with exposure on social media. An artist can have 10,000 fans on either platform, but the number of people who see their updates is far less. The only way to guarantee reach is through paid promotions, and many in the industry are struggling to see the point of giving money to third-party services to reach their fans. Competition for booking grows as tribute bands gain popularity. The legends of modern music have begun to leave the spotlight. Some have died, but others are choosing to retire. Apple Music almost catches up to Spotify. Spotify is the reigning champ of music streaming. For the last decade, no other premium streaming platform has been able to compete with the popularity of Spotify, but that could change in 2019? Streaming services become news outlets. Think about consumption for a moment. Virtually everyone is accessing music through streaming services. Charts matter less and less. Billboard charts have been considered the best way to gauge the interests of the public for the last half-century. ---- Should You Record an Album or EP? found.ee/album Want more insight?
