One of 2024’s breakout stars, Sabrina Carpenter, releases her new album ‘Short n’ Sweet’ today. DSPs and social media platforms alike are falling over themselves to get behind it. Yesterday was Instagram’s turn: it made Carpenter the showcase for a new feature that lets people add a song to their profile – a throwback to classic-era MySpace. https://lnkd.in/d5Biiffx

There have been hopes for some time that Japanese pop music (J-Pop) could follow K-Pop’s blueprint to reach more listeners globally. Now Spotify has offered some encouragement for that, based on the ‘Gacha Pop’ playlist that it launched in May 2023 to bring Japanese pop artists to a wider audience. “A year later, the playlist has amassed more than 380,000 ‘saves’ by Spotify users around the world,” it announced in a blog post. “Today, it boasts a following in the U.S., Mexico, England, France, and Indonesia, and is especially popular among Gen Z listeners.” Yoasobi, Fujii Kaze, Ado and Atarashii Gakko are among the artists cited as doing well.

Newzoo is one of the most prominent companies tracking the games industry, with regular reports offering insight into gamer demographics, trends and industry revenues. With gaming partnerships still high on the music industry’s agenda, its latest ‘Global Games Market Report’ is useful reading matter for our sector. The report describes a “major inflection point” for the games industry in 2024, after some bumps in its growth – and the amount of ‘playtime’ it’s generating – in recent years. “After last year’s cautious return to growth, the market will grow by +2.1% year on year to reach an estimated $187.7 billion,” claimed Newzoo. “Gaming will captivate an anticipated 3.4 billion enthusiasts this year.” Those $187.7bn of predicted revenues break down into $51.9bn for console games (down 1% year-on-year); $43.2bn for PC games (up 4%) and $92.6bn for mobile games (up 3%). “Nearly half of all consumer spending on games in 2024 will come from the US and China, with the US generating $47.0 billion and China contributing $45.0 billion to the global total,” claimed Newzoo.

Rachel Chinouriri is the definition of an artist whose star is rising, with an Ivor Novello nomination already under her belt, as well as support slots for the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Louis Tomlinson and Sabrina Carpenter. Her debut album ‘What a Devastating Turn of Events’ came out in May to rousing reviews. So the fact that Chinouriri has just pulled out of a US tour with Remi Wolf plus several festivals on financial grounds should sound yet more warning bells about the current pressures around touring. “This year I’ve invested all my savings and earnings into my shows, styling, and band to be able to tour. While my debut album has opened many amazing opportunities, the financial strain on touring has become too much,” she wrote on social media. https://lnkd.in/dZSvYrkH #Touring #musically #musicnews #readmore

We reported yesterday on 10 more states joining the US Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment, with an amended complaint accompanying the news. Now the company has responded in a statement sent to Music Ally. “There is nothing new in the Amended Complaint – the lawsuit still won’t solve the issues fans care about relating to ticket prices, service fees, and access to in-demand shows,” said its spokesperson. “We look forward to sharing more facts as the case progresses.” As for the amended complaint, The Verge reported on some of the additions, which focus on Ticketmaster’s ‘SafeTix’ feature, which uses refreshable barcodes on electronic tickets to tackle fraud.
