94 categories: Grammy time last week   The Grammys were awarded last week. That's a US music award, honoring the most important artists over the last 12 months. Simplified, the winners are determined by a process of nominations from record companies and others, screening sessions of 350 experts, a first round of voting to arrive at nominations (5 per category), followed by a second round of voting of ~12.000 members to finally award the Grammy. Currently, there are 94 categories in 11 fields from Gospel & Contemporary Christian Music to the General Field, the latter including Record of the Year or Best New Artist. And yes, of course you can argue about the merits of Tayler Swift to become the first artist with four awards for Album of the Year …   But from a data perspective, it is even more interesting to look at music awards in other countries and compare the respective processes. In Germany, there used to be the Echo, awarded in more than 100 categories (before being ended in 2018 as a result of controversial awards for songs said to promote antisemitic and homophobic views). Especially in the most popular Pop categories, the Echo was awarded based on sales figures – not creative performance.   In the UK, the Brit Awards winners were long suspected to reflect the goodwill of the music industry, so the nomination and voting process was adapted over time to better reflect the diversity and breadth of the music industry with currently around 1,200 annually refreshed members of a voting academy. In France, there are different awards from Diapason and Victoire de la Musique to the Grand Prix du Disque. The latter is awarded by an academy consisting of 50 permanent members, possibly reflecting the more elite system in France.   Bottom-line: there is no single “correct” way to determine the Album of the Year. For any individual music lover, this will always be a strictly personal choice neither determined by the number of streams nor an academy or panel of experts … #music #media #datadriven

I just ordered this book from Shain Shapiro PhD This Must Be the Place explores how music can make cities better. This Must Be the Place introduces and examines music’s relationship to cities. Not the influence cities have on music, but the powerful impact music can have on how cities are developed, built, managed and governed. Told in an accessible way through personal stories from cities around the world — including London, Melbourne, Nashville, Austin and Zurich — This Must Be the Place takes a truly global perspective on the ways music is integral to everyday life but neglected in public policy. Arguing for the transformative role of artists and musicians in a post-pandemic world, This Must Be The Place not only examines the powerful impact music can have on our cities, but also serves as a how-to guide and toolkit for music-lovers, artists and activists everywhere to begin the process of reinventing the communities they live in.

[PART 2] 🎤 After being in the music industry for 31 years, extraordinary artists like Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, and Ludacris were brought up on stage with Usher to also have their time performing at the Super Bowl; a lifelong goal of so many artists. He also brought up those who don’t have fame to their name, like the Jackson State University marching band, giving an HBCU band a national stage to perform on. He provided space for pole dancers to be seen and respected and professional dancers. Naima Cochrane, a culture journalist and professor at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music said “I don’t think it’s so much a renaissance moment as it is a validation moment,” [2] as she touches on the methodical nature and cultural significance of masterpiece performances such as this. Usher used his platform to lift up so many people. He understood the cameras would be on, and delivered a memorable and historic performance. One that allowed Black culture to be seen as the cornerstone of American pop culture. 📢 This LinkedIn post cannot cover the entire performance and how each song, each note, each piece of clothing, each placement of light and band member was methodically picked to represent a piece of history. However, there are many articles out there that do just exactly that. I encourage you to read into the cultural significance of masterpiece performances such as this.

Grateful for this mention and the work of the Music and Entertainment Council MEC — Thank you Mayor Skip Henderson !!! 🎹💫🎼🎸🎧🎤🥁🎸 There are some pressing things happening in our State Legislature ‼️ Music is EConomy and Forever!! I am in support of House Bill 549 and Senate Bill 396 (HB549 and SB396) We need a statewide Music Office!!! 💫☀️ Establishing a statewide music office within the Department of Economic Development recognizes the significant economic impact of the music industry in Georgia.❤️ Over 70,000 Georgians employed in music: The bill acknowledges the vast number of individuals employed in various music-related roles statewide, underscoring the need for focused support and promotion.✅ Addressing a Gap in Current Structure: Currently, there is no specific office within the Department of Economic Development focused solely on music, unlike the existing Office of Film, Music, and Digital Entertainment. Having a dedicated point person is essential.🔥

Always happy to give my $.02 to NPR - there are so many sustainability issues with respect to music/musicians. this issue that SoundExchange has been fighting the good fight on for some time is a big one. obviously, there are other pressing issues - Spotify’s moral bankruptcy, companies building enterprise value on the back of musicians’ work w/o anywhere near appropriate compensation or consideration, entrepreneurs with no concern for artist sustainability with respect to AI etc…. all that - doom and gloom - said, there is still hope. For instance, a new Bandcamp is there for the taking for someone who presents an artist-centric approach; and new technologies, whether AI or web3, do not have to be detrimental to artists, and in fact can be hugely positive sum for artists and entrepreneurs. certainly been my bias/life’s work.

Agreed 100% and it's just a wonderful bonding experience all around. It costs you a few minutes to take a quick listen and give your honest appreciation. It takes hardly ANY effort to promote someone you believe in-- and why wouldn't you anyway? That's why, when I take just 5 minutes to listen to an artist's work (or see, if it's visual) I always have something emotional to say about it, because it evokes emotion in me. 5 minutes could produce a lasting bond-- lifelong friendship, and camaraderie like you've never had before. You could be experiencing this on the regular-- so why not start now? Of course, follow Mike for giving the start 👉 Mike Warner.
