Music by Numbers

This edited collection examines statistics within the music industry. Its aim is to expose the historical and contemporary use and abuse of these numbers, both nationally and internationally. It addresses their impact on consumers’ choices, upon the careers of musicians and upon the policies that governments and legislators make.

Industriile muzicale sunt alimentate de statistici: tinte de vanzari, puncte de rentabilitate, rapoarte de succes, impartiri de redevente, accesari de site-uri, venituri din bilete, cifre ale ascultatorilor, abuzuri de piraterie si big data. Statisticile sunt de consecinta.
