interesting @theglennpeoples perspective on how subscription-driven recorded music market will fare, with essential insights from @russmusicwatch https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/9347724/subscriptions-insulate-music-market-2020 Also possibly material q's: what is share of listening that happens in car, home, work, commute?
2/2 Streaming volume seems relatively stable so far, thankfully. And as much as catalogue is important, we also know that big releases drive overall listening + engagement. eg, The Weeknd. At what point do understandable album delays from major artists depress overall engagement?
[now 3/3] more fodder for this thread (
) from wise @msutherlanduk "More pertinently, if fresh options like those dry up, will people keep up the listening habit (and their streaming subscriptions)? Or will Netflix be the beneficiary?" https://www.musicweek.com/opinion/read/why-labels-and-artists-should-still-release-new-music-during-the-coronavirus-crisis/079390
