Scam Alert❗ 📣 Did you know the USA (the world's largest music market) is the only developed country which does NOT pay recording artists/performers when their song is played on AM/FM radio? Isn't that nuts? How do they get away with it? Well, lobbyists, for one. But as an industry we can do a better job of applying public pressure, naming and shaming, and supporting those organizations who are on the frontlines of the fight to end this injustice, such as adding your name to the American Music Fairness Act at the link below. On that note, here are the largest commercial radio broadcasting companies in the US along with their recent known annual revenues from from 2023/early 2024: 1. iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel) iHeartMedia - Revenue: ~$3.9 billion - Operates over 850 stations 2. Audacy (formerly Entercom) Audacy, Inc. - Revenue: ~$1.2 billion - Operates over 230 stations 3. Cumulus Media CUMULUS MEDIA - Revenue: ~$900 million - Operates about 400 stations 4. Townsquare Media Townsquare Media - Revenue: ~$450 million - Operates over 320 stations 5. Beasley Broadcast Group Beasley Broadcasting - Revenue: ~$250 million - Operates over 60 stations IF YOU PLAY THE SONG. PAY THE ARTIST. #musicfairnessmonth #radio #fair #musicindustry #radiostation #iheart #musicbusiness #broadcast #broadcasting #scam
United States AM/FM Radio generates billions in annual revenue, yet they don't pay performance royalties to artists. November is #MusicFairnessMonth, and we are calling YOU to take action.

This latest report from Youth Music makes for an interesting, if slightly depressing read... Social class is found above all else to influence a young person's chances of forging a career in the music industry. Those from lower income backgrounds are significantly less likely to be earning money through music than those from higher income backgrounds - even if they have both studied music at school, college or university. Not a huge surprise - lack of industry contacts, affordability of instruments and private lessons (when music facilities in schools are so severely lacking) and the fact that 86% of internships in music and the arts are unpaid (sorry, but is this even legal?), all contribute to working class kids having a much harder time of breaking through. Here's hoping that whatever happens on 4th July, there is more investment in the arts and more focus on levelling the playing field for everyone who dreams about a career in music. We can't keep expecting amazing charities like Youth Music to shoulder all the responsibility.

I always had to work alongside being a recording artist as making music pay enough for it to become a full time career is hugely challenging. Only a small percentage of musicians and producers go on to “make it” and if you have no financial resilience or safety net, you have no choice but to work alongside trying to launch your music career. I managed a record shop alongside recording and DJing and had a sympathetic employer who was himself a musician (he was in the Darts if that rings a bell for anyone). Working class people struggle to get through the door across all of the arts, not just in music. It’s a societal-wide problem. It does not help that so few of the gatekeepers are from working class backgrounds. It’s the same in charities. 1 in 6 charity CEOs went to private school. Less than 6% of children in the UK are privately educated. So 94% of charity CEOs should come from state schools. Go figure. If you want to read more about elitism in the UK there is a great report from the Sutton Trust and the Social Mobility Commission here albeit 5 years old https://lnkd.in/em6q3TTg

Creative industries get absolutely hammered because spaces to lease and rent are so expensive, let alone to buy. ACT Government could fund more support for creative industries if rental property investors paid commercial rates of property tax rather than private ones. Owning rental properties is a for-profit business.

Canberra should be a hub for live music, and there are steps our government could take to make that happen. A big part of the shift that’s required is a more collaborative approach where the government partners with local creative communities and venue managers to activate Canberra’s nightlife. Check out this scorecard from MusicACT and have a look at our policy pillar ‘Bringing People Together’ to learn more about what we’ve heard would shift the dial for local artists and music lovers at https://lnkd.in/gfCT4aHM
