KEY FINDING
 The factor that most of the candidates have
used or regularly use ‘youtube’ for listening to
music demonstrates how necessary and
important music videos can be to promoting an
artist or message. This is due to how a huge
majority of the mass market use this platform
to engage with their favourite artist(s). This is
proof of why the music video industry has
perhaps grown into the commercial
enterprise it has, worth millions and ever-
expanding.
