The music industry is based on profit and this industry has kept growing

exponentially for a long time with representatives of yesteryear like "THE

BEATLES" "QUEEN" "ELVIS PRESLEY" and if I continued this list it would never
end, knowing this I can say that for a long time this industry moved thousands of
new talents to launch into the new world and innovate with the creation of various
genres.
This industry has gone through a lot, from scandals, to records, and one of these
was of a singer from the 80s named "MICHAEL JACKSON" having the best-
selling album, over time it has remained so even having a limitation that was that
To acquire this album it was to buy it physically, which made it more difficult to sell
in different countries and that even so it has won this record makes it impressive
and one of the largest representatives of this industry.
With regard to other aspects of music such as earnings, over time it has been
affected by various reasons such as the evolution of formats and the evolution of
genres. A few decades ago the most listened to genres were “POP”, “REGGAE”
and “ROCK”, therefore they were the ones that received the most income from
listeners, with the evolution of society other types of genres such as “TRAP” have
become popular. "REGGAETON" "ELECTRONICA" And its variations.
Returning to the current income generation methods, virtual platforms such as
"SPOTIFY" "DEEZER" "YOUTUBE MUSIC" became popular, which are currently
the most popular and have several drawbacks that, although they were present
before, can now be noticed more as piracy and most importantly the defamation of
an artist, this defamation can be due to rumors, facts or misunderstandings in
interviews etc..
This can seriously affect the careers of renowned artists, as they cannot prove
whether they are facts or not, the record companies decide not to give it the go-
ahead and reject whether they are millionaire contracts or that lead to success as a
whole, although there are occasions when that artists take advantage of these
same rumors to increase more and more their methods of expanding their brand
etc.
Another of their income methods can be the sale of merchandise from these artists
such as clothes, shoes, instruments or even telephone companies, and returning to
the problems of the artists one of the greatest achievements they can obtain is to
remain constant in their career and not being “ONE HIT WONDERS” since in the
underground world being a “ONE-HIT WONDER” is very little respectable to have
only one recognized song.
With this I finish my essay and the biggest conclusion that I could draw is the
constant and early evolution of this industry and to realize how complex a single
topic can be, either in its background, or in the way it is released or events of the
artist that determine its success.
