There’s change at the top of Spotify’s artist rankings this week. Billie Eilish has become the most popular artist on the streaming service by monthly listeners, with her 100.1 million overtaking The Weeknd’s 99.8 million. He seems pretty happy about the change, mind: last week he retweeted a post predicting Eilish’s imminent ascent to the summit and added some cheery emojis to signify his support. Eilish is the third artist to reach the 100 million listeners milestone on Spotify following The Weeknd and Taylor Swift, who did it in August 2023. Interestingly, thus far that has been a peak rather than a base for further growth: The Weeknd has dipped below 100 million now, while Swift currently has 91.7 million Spotify listeners.

Earlier this year, various music services published their ‘Songs of the Summer’ list based on their predictions of the tracks that would be sunnytime smashes. Now with autumn drawing nearer, it’s time to see what the *actual* hit tracks were for summer 2024. TikTok got the ball rolling with some charts yesterday. Chilean artists FloyyMenor and Cris MJ’s ‘Gata Only’ collaboration has been used for 15m creations (videos) on TikTok this summer. That makes it not just the biggest Latin track in the world, but the biggest overall (and globally) on TikTok in recent months. There’s a strong LatAm showing in TikTok’s global chart. Dominican duo El Alfa and Nfasis; Mexican pair Luis R Conriquez and Neton Vega; and Colombian star Karol G all made the top 10, with Brazilian singer Pabllo Vittar a featured artist on another track in the list. Tinashe’s ‘Nasty’, which we recently profiled in our Behind The Single slot, was the biggest US track in the chart at number two, with songs by Tommy Richman, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter and Lay Bankz also making the top 10.

TikTok is steadily increasing its promotional activities around specific albums and artists. This year we’ve seen Billie Eilish debut its ‘Fan Spotlight’ feature, followed by in-app ‘hubs’ for Taylor Swift and Jimin out of BTS. Now Post Malone is getting in on the action for the release of his new ‘F-1 Trillion’ album. Fans can complete in-app challenges to unlock album artwork as ‘photo cards’ and enter a tickets giveaway for his upcoming tour. Malone is also using the ‘Fan Spotlight’ feature to showcase fans’ videos using the promotion’s #F1TRILLION hashtag, which has just over 1,400 posts at the time of writing. https://lnkd.in/dsatKb4r #TikTok #PostMalone #MusicPromotion

Subscription streaming revenue was the leading light in 2023, up almost 22% year-on-year, and the number of subscribers to paid music services increased by 100,000 people - not bad for a country of 5.6m people.

Australasian music-rights body APRA AMCOS has published a report focusing on generative AI technologies, based partly on a survey of more than 4,200 of its members in Australia and New Zealand. Interviews with industry professionals and academics also fed into the report, alongside economic projections from its author, consultancy firm Goldmedia GmbH. It’s the economic projections that are grabbing the headlines this morning. “It can be assumed that by 2028, 23% of music creators’ revenues will be at risk due to Gen AI,” claims the report, citing several sectors that are particularly vulnerable: sync / production music; background music in commercial venues; and lo-fi music. The methodology for the 23% assumption is laid out on page 76 of the report: it involved analysing the various categories of music rights for the likelihood of AI disruption and predicting music creator revenues in a ‘no Gen AI scenario’ in order to calculate the potential losses. However, the report isn’t just about those risks: it explores how musicians are using AI now in their creative process, as well as the opportunities.

Jeremiah Gogo is head of data, A&R analytics and business development at Virgin Music UK. He was recently named as Alumnus of the Year by the University of Essex, partly in recognition of his creation of the Open Desk Programme. What's that? Music Ally's Patrick Ross caught up with him in our latest Team Talk column to find out. Gogo spoke about the changes needed to build pathways for diversity at high levels in the music business: “I think we do need to, as an industry, be better at progressing some of the young people from diverse backgrounds into more senior roles. The diversity of thought is not just needed at a junior marketing level: it is needed in the boardroom. A diverse boardroom always performs better, and there is plenty of data to show it.” He also spoke about the tangible immediate impacts of diversity that came as a result of the programme: “young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds who benefit greatly just from the experience of being in the building. But the tangible things we saw were diversity of thought, diversity of opinions. I go into meetings and there’ll be so many bright ideas coming.” It's a fascinating interview! – read the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/dH5FY5-q #musically #musicnews #readmore
