The remarks of Sony Music Entertainment CEO
Doug Morris in 2011 illustrated an accurate under-
standing of the environment of music sales. Morris,
a globally influential executive and music innovator,
agreed to join Sony Music Entertainment as chief
executive officer effective July 1, 201l. In a time of
great change in the music marketplace, it was abso-
lutely necessary that Sony take active steps to remain
competitive. Morris took the job graciously, but he
placed himself into a business whose margins were
becoming thinner and thinner. With a declining
industry that had been made less lucrative by the
wide availability of substitutes, Morris was forced to
develop a strategy to contend with industry change
and unfavorable competitive forces in 2014.

enabled music
videos to play a
huge role in
marketing artists
songs.
Another music
channel VH1 was
launched in 1984
and introduced a

The predominance
of these music

1. YouTube
YouTube is obviously the first choice for any musician,
both popular and new. With music being the most viewed
category of video (27%), and people watching over 1
billion hours of YouTube videos every day.
2. Social Media Networks: Facebook, Instagram, and
Twitter
Twitter has about 330 million monthly active users, it’s the
place for most budding music journalists and influencers,
and it helps you get a lot of word-of-mouth.
With a staggering 2.38 billion monthly active users,
Facebook is the most used social media platform globally,
and it’s where people discover your live videos. Instagram
with its 1 billion MAU is the place where budding artists
can generate a community and a loyal fan base.
3. Spotify

loving these days.
3. Film Industry Timeline
Music
Distribution
Vinyl became
the most
prevalent
choice for
consumers
with regards to
affordable
means of
owning and
playing music.
The late sixties
brought about the
significant
popularity of the
cassette as a
means of record
production. With
this innovation,
record companies
began to worry
about the
cassette as a
potential
disruption in the
level of vinyl
sales.
Vinyl remained the
dominant format
until the late 1970s.
The 8-track
(introduced in mid
60s) was the fastest
growing format in
the industry,
claiming 25 percent
of all music industry
revenue in 1974
Capable of
producing a higher
quality sound than
the cassette, and
provided more
versatility than vinyl,
it disappeared from
the market in
1982----> one of the
first indicators of the
music industry being
a subject of the
market’s tastes and
preferences.
2003 ITunes first
launched.
Spotify launched in
2008.
During the 2010 music era, the
use of IPODs grew and
streaming had a rise in
consumer experience leading
to less demand for physical
CDs.
In 2011 Apple signs a deal with
Sony for its new iTunes Cloud
music streaming service
Sony acquired Ericsson's stake
in Sony Ericsson in January
2012 and launched the
smartphone, the Xperia, which
has its own inbuilt app: the
Sony Music Player.
streaming became the fastest
growing music format in the
recorded music industry
YouTube signs an agreement
with Universal Music Group
and Sony Music over royalties
and copyrighted material in
2017. In the same year, Sony
signed a deal with Spotify.
The music industry saw a
consistent decline in album
sales in response to the rising
popularity of streaming
services. As a result, music
superstars have been trying a
new method for increasing
album profits: exclusively
releasing their music on a
specific digital music
distributor.
In recent years, Sony Music launches its own music site
which enables free previews and links to buy their albums
from online partners
To date Sony has dozens of apps which allow streaming
of music on smart devices in your home, in your car, on
your PC, ear-pods… Sony Android Apps on Google Play
Music
consumptio
n/
consumer
habits
The rise of the
top 40 stations
in the early
50s has
influenced how
music radio
operates even
today.
By the late 60s,
all of Ford's
cars were
offered with an
available
8-track player.
In the early 1970s,
the music industry
became frustrated
with ‘bootlegging,’ or
illegally recording
vinyl audio or radio
broadcasts onto
programmable
cassettes
In 1987 record
sales from the CD
finally surpassed
those from the
declining vinyl
format.
This is an
important
innovation in the
music industry as
it proves the
consumer’s power
in
influencing the
way music is
recorded and sold.
Music sharing and piracy
became a larger concern of the
record labels, and in response,
the Audio Home Recording Act
of 1992 was created. This act
essentially imposed a two
percent royalty on digital audio
recorder manufacturers to be
paid to copyright holders to
make up for the lost sales from
the increasing ease of piracy
MP3 unit sales
surpassed all other
formats in the music
industry in 2007.
Use of physical radio
decreased as streaming
services increased or radio
began to be streamed through
telephone apps.
Music was often illegally
downloaded and pirated
causing artists to miss out on
download fees.
The use and demand for
bluetooth headphones
increased during this period.
