Spotify launched in India 5 years ago - and in that time the Indian Music Industry has really matured! RouteNote has a very strong presence in India and we hope to grow that even further in the coming years - it's a market that has immense potential. "With a focus on local artists, Spotify have helped to spotlight Indian artists both in India and abroad. Five years ago, international music made of 70% of the music streamed in India. Now, more than 70% of streams in the country are of Indian artists.Further abroad, consumption of Indian music is up 2,000% worldwide. Songs from Indian artists being featured in Spotify’s global editorial playlists are up 160%."via - https://lnkd.in/e9YDtQnk

    Well ... well ... well. Hipgnosis Songs Fund has accepted a takeover from Concord Music. Hipgnosis has been in trouble for some time and Concord has had a huge number of backers for a long time (including key pension funds). It will be very interesting to see if this deal goes through. #music #musicindustry #musicbusiness #royalties #musicroyalties #hipgnosis #concordmusic

    Pexpublished a studythat analyzed 100 million audio tracks onTikTokand estimated that comfortably more than a third (38.03%)of all songs found onthe platformwere speed or pitch-modified in 2023.This has obviously led Spotify to start thinking about releasing an advanced song modification tool. #music #spotify #tiktok #musicstreaming #musicindustry #musicbusiness

    Spotify plans to let subscribers speed up songs – and pay rightsholders when those modified tracks are streamed (report) https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com
