"I'd like to make a few predictions for this year."
DAFT PUNK RETURNS WITH LONG-AWAITED ALBUM AND TOUR
ONCE LEGENDARY BLOG, DISCODUST RETURNS AS A NEW MEDIUM
IT WILL BE THE YEAR OF SOUNDTRACK MUSIC
THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS RELEASE A NEW CD
MANY BANDS WILL BREAK UP, MOSTLY DUE TO SOLO PROJECTS AND DRUG ADDICTIONS.
HIP HOP WILL SIT ON THE SHELF FOR ABIT WHILE DISCO AND MOTOWN RETURN
MORE ASIAN MUSICIANS WILL HIT IT BIG IN THE AMERICAN MUSIC MARKET.
EVENTUALLY CHINA WILL PLAY A GREATER ROLE IN BOTH CONSUMING MUSIC AND CREATING IT THAN THE UNITED STATES.
NEAR THE END OF 2013, THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WILL FINALLY REALIZE THAT PEOPLE WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE MUSIC LIKE THEY USE TO AND THAT KIND OF IDEA WILL ONLY BE FOR HARDCORE FANS AND COLLECTORS. EVENTUALLY, THEY WILL HAVE TO START ADDING A FEE ON EVERYONES INTERNET BILL AND THE FEE WILL BE DISPERSED TO THE SONGWRITERS AND LABELS, THE PAYOUT WOULD BE BASED ON PLAYS.
EVENTUALLY THE MOVIE INDUSTRY WILL FOLLOW SUIT.
Here are just a few of my predictions for this year. There will be more updates to the website and new features planned. Thanks to all who have been following since the beginning and thank you all for your support. See you soon.
Danno.
