Artists ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],These two labels feature some huge names. They are definitely more main stream Labels, found much higher up on the “long tail” This gives the audience a sense of security, using a well known label lets them know these are official and respectable artists – possibly “safe” music?

Artists #2 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],These artists are very nich é compared to the above names. These types of artists will rarely, if ever, feature in charts or music channels. They will feature much further down the “long tail” These types of artists are all signed to similar labels to keep with this independent feel. Audiences do not recognise their label, and therefore feel as if they are supporting real, relatable artists. It might not be “safe official” music, but buying their music gives a sense of supporting real people, as appose to huge industries.
