CMU Trends: Streaming Challenges
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 15 July 2020
The latest CMU Trends ten step guide sets out the ten biggest challenges facing the streaming music market in 2020.
Coming ahead of the launch tomorrow of the Third Edition of the ‘Dissecting The Digital Dollar’ book from MMF and CMU Insights, this guide offers a very timely summary of the key challenges in the streaming domain. Some are challenges for the platforms, some for record labels and music publishers, and some specifically for artists and songwriters.
Along the way the guide looks at how so few streaming platforms dominate the market, considers issues around price-point and where free services fit in, runs through the ongoing debates about how streaming money is shared out, and reviews how complex royalty chains, music data issues and a general lack of transparency hinders music-makers, and especially songwriters.
The guide talks through all this in ten easy steps. Premium CMU subscribers can access and download this guide – and loads of other guides too – via the CMU Library. Click here to read the guide and click here to go premium with CMU for just £5 a month.
