Most artists today aren’t focusing on the music, they are focusing on image marketing and album sales. If they want to sell albums, they have to be in the mainstream in order get discovered. In order to accomplish this, they need to put songs (or at least song clips) on Myspace, and put their videos on Youtube. Once they get noticed, deals are made with record companies, offers are given to make albums, blah blah blah. Plenty of money is made for artists and record companies, but what’s to say what defines good music anymore? Record sales? Youtube hits? Facebook fans? Since media promotion of modern music artists exists primarily on the internet, there is no room for CD store in an iTunes/iPod world and less room for music videos on MTV or VH1, but leaves plenty of room for reality shows. Woo hoo……. The music industry is far from struggling. Well, at least on the surface. Quality of music does not define music anymore, it’s all about the artist’s image. This method has flooded the scene with swarms of singers with little to no talent. In doing this it makes the ones who really do have talent less noticeable in a crowded market.
