How Youtube change the music industry ?
by Vicente Rojas
20 years ago the music
only was sold, listened and seen in CDs, cassettes, and radios, and a little in
televisions. “People never imagined that the music in the future was going to
be listened online, fully digital, and totally free”, said by Rajatkumr, stated
on the site ireport.
YouTube has changed the
way the music produced, promoted, share, and consumed.Lets see how?.
Previous time the goal
of an artist was to get his/her video on MTV, now the goal of an artist is to
get her/his video on YouTube and go viral. Musicians and artists are using
YouTube to be noticed, like in the past with MTV in the 1980s.” Justin Bieber,
Carly Rae Jepson, and Rebecca Negro are just a few examples artists that got
started by YouTube“ said the page Eshellem. An example of how YouTube can make
an artist go viral is the example of Carly Rae’s song called “ Call me maybe”,
in less of six months she had 200.000.000 hits on YouTube; between May 2012 and
October 2012 “Call me Maybe” was getting over one millions hits per day.
YouTube celebrated his
10th birthday in February of 2015. It was the 3 most visited and
used site in the world, now in the 2015. One of the most important milestones
was the purchase of YouTube by Google in 2006. Under Google control, YouTube
was positioned in one of the top pages of the world and started influencing our
lives with music, televisions, sport, advertising, etc.
YouTube is good for
more things that only get noticed for musical ability, is also used for seeing
the personalities of the artists.
YouTube is not the only
platform, that works like a music Player, now in the 2015 was to become very
viral others music players like, Spotify, Sound Cloud, and iTunes, with music
online, but the problem was that these music players have not music videos like
YouTube.
We can conclude that YouTube have changed the music
industry in a very awesome form . since becoming bigger than Mtv, all artists
want to become "famous" (viral) youtube by platform , as some of the
examples that I mentioned above . We can also say that YouTube has
influenced our life a lot , not just with the music , but also with the
propaganda advertisement of thing, sport also, and a lot of things like that.
