Playlist Streaming: Is It Hurting The Artist?

Article Category: Entertainment

Author Name: Music Talks

Since streaming became the new norm, overtaking CD sales and now paid downloads of artists music, it's now become more evident how streaming and music playlists are actually hurting artists and devaluing who's behind the music.

But does anyone care?

I wish I could say they do, but it seems that every time someone say's 'Playlist', artists are jumping on board to add themselves to one or more of the millions of playlists that exist only to be added to the needle in the haystack.

While I'm not totally against the playlist, the only real value of getting onto a playlist is that it's another form of promotion for the artist. However, unless you're making it on playlists such as 'Discover Weekly' and the likes of, or even those who go to the extra effort of promoting their playlists, the unknown artists are again just hurling themselves out to the 1 million playlist followers in the "HOPE" they are either listened to, discovered or streamed thousands of times to be heard, noticed and perhaps earn a few measly dollars in return for months or even years of work.

Am I the only one, who still doesn't get this so called 'Common Sense'. Or is it the case of the herd just following what everyone else is doing?

Let's face it, to stand up and out as an artist, your song has to be better than good. Otherwise you're just another artist/musician in a list of songs played in amongst other artists whom the average listener may like the sound of, but for the life of them, couldn't even tell you the name of the artist. (Unless, as mentioned before, you do stand out from the crowd encouraging the listener to actually 'make an effort' to find out who the artist is)

Playlists are great for...well, having a playlist to listen to of course, but my concern as stated above goes beyond the devaluated artist and musician. It reduces conversation, opinions and discussion. It simply becomes a one-dimensional tool that does not involve point of views about the music, education and discussion...you know, the social aspect music used to be known for. When people used to go out and see a band/artist, when they used to listen to radio conversation about a song or artist, when people could read and respond to an article about an artist.

The unfortunate aspect about social media is that if anyone voices an opinion in a constructive way, then many take offence, reducing the art of real conversation, therefore not really helping an artist or anyone in that matter. We have become far too sensitive for honest discussion with those who disagree or simply not like what they hear or read as the need to block others or make threats.

Artists who don't succeed on making it on a so-called radio show or online blog site, fail to keep up with those shows or sites in finding out why? They do not follow or gracefully accept tips to improve, learn more from those sites who offer advice and freebies, instead, they just keep moving to find a place that will accept them, often resulting in a playlist.

The other end of the scale comes down to the effort required by an artist to do what's necessary to be included on a radio show or blog site, placing them in the 'to hard' basket.

There's a great saying, which reminds me to follow my intent;

| 'Do What's Right, Not What Is Easy'.

I usually like to think outside that box, and often see where the masses gravitate and ask why? I would look at the world population of over 7 billion people with one million plus listening to playlists. For those who are in radio or online magazines, you would be excused for thinking...Read the full article on Music Talks.
