Whereas performing artists have, until been able to build diversified careers with streaming acting as fuel for the live engine, songwriters have in contrast seen their income horizon narrow. Perhaps the most important of these is the plight of the songwriter in the streaming era. The result has been minor cracks developing into major fault lines. In the rush to win back consumer engagement and spending, some fundamental industry growing pains have not been given the attention they needed. As with any transition, this rapid shift has been characterised as much by legacy models trying to adapt as it has by the emergence of entirely new ones. The first decade of the millennium was defined by disruption and decline, the second by innovation, growth and rapid change. However, one small positive that may emerge is that it can act as a chapter marker in the evolution of the century music business. has been a tragic and painful experience for many and at the time of writing still has not neared its end. The enforced slowdown created the space for reflection and perspective, but at the same time the well dried up for live touring income. catalysed concerns about imbalances in the system, concerns that previously did not always get widespread attention as the music industry’s growth wheels spun fast and a key objective for many artists was to sell tickets to live shows. The most visible evidence of this is the #brokenrecord debate surrounding streaming royalties (as well as a DCMS-led public inquiry into streaming in the UK) but the emerging creator dialogue goes further and wider. While debates and controversies around music royalties far pre-dated the effects of the pandemic focused the minds of creators on a new scale and intensity. The music business will recover, but this enforced slowdown has had an important, unintended consequence: artists and songwriters have had to adjust to often dramatic falls in income – a light has been shone on music royalties. Live music stopped in an instant, radio boomed then dipped and physical sales plummeted as stores closed. Here are the best of those TikTok songs you've heard parts of, but should definitely listen to the entire thing.Introduction – Rebalancing the song economyĪfter half a decade of streaming-driven growth the global music business hit a speed bump in the shape of the pandemic. Like all music, not every TikTok song is amazing, but there are a handful of gems on the app that are definitely worth listening to in full. The success of a TikTok song is a bit confounding since "old" songs do resurface on the app-going all the way back to the freakin' 19th century-but its pull on what's trending in music is undeniable, making charting hits out of even obscure releases that the kids are playing over their videos. Originating from the lip-syncing app musical.ly, much of the TikTok-verse is all about making content to lay over the perfect song-be it coming up with a new dance craze, lip-syncing, or soundtracking some sort of comic relief. The video sharing app is brutally inescapable, though, and has probably exposed you to a handful of clips of songs you can't get out of your head just by appearing on your social feeds that aren't TikTok. For awhile, TikTok felt like one big joke that anyone outside of Gen Z didn't understand.
