US Music Business Generates $118 Billion In 2019

Published: Sunday 1st Mar 2020 by David

Normani stands tall as one of the musicians driving revenue to glorious heights in the American music industry.

Full story below…

In 2009, the bulk of the industry’s cash was generated by physical sales. A decade later, streaming stands supreme as its cash cow now that it accounts for 79 percent of its earnings.

Hits Daily Double reports…

At $6.8b (+25% y-o-y), paid streaming accounted for more than three quarters of total streaming revenues, and more than 60% of overall recorded-music revenues.

On average, more than a million new customers signed up each month in 2019, which ended with north of 60m U.S. subscribers.

Quite interestingly, physical sales only account for 10 percent….driven by sales generated by Pop titans who debuted before the streaming era.

  4. Fifth Harmony March 1, 2020

    Without question, Camila Cabello is the most successful member of Fifth Harmony when it comes to solo music, though she did have a head start, so it’s tough to compare her to her former bandmates. Cabello left the group before the then-quartet went on hiatus, and she was already established under her own name by that point

      The subject is about Normani not the privileged racist

    • Only Facts March 1, 2020

      ‼️‼️ Oh hey there! I thought I’d find your here. Just a friendly reminder that Camila Cabello appeared on Mark Ronson’s “Late Night Feelings” album and that album and her collab with him flopped. Camila also appeared on Cashmere Cats “9” album and that flopped, along with the collab with her. Let’s also not forget Camila’s other list of singles that have flopped (more than anyone else from 5H). Camilas flops include:

      -Real Friends (Remix with Swae Lee, didn’t chart)
      -Consequences (didn’t crack top 50 after high budget performance at AMA’s)
      -Mi Persona Favorita
      -Sangria Wine (didn’t chart after high budget performance at billboard awards)
      -Liar (High budget video, didn’t crack top 40)
      -Shameless(High budget video, didn’t crack top 50)
      -Easy (SNL performance, didn’t chart)
      -Living Proof (5 high budget performances, didn’t chart)
      -OMG (didn’t chart)
      And let’s not forget about Camilas inaugural flop, “crying in the club” which never cracked the top 40 after a high budget video and billboard awards performance.

      Now I see why you’re always trying to convince yourself that Camila is a star…it’s because she has more flops than anyone else from Fifth Harmony‼️‼️ Camila sucks nuts ?

      • Nicky March 1, 2020

        Sooooooo many Flops ????????????????????????

        The most hilarious was 7 solo flops from one album

        ????????????????????????????

        Isn’t that a record? ?????????????????

    “streaming accounted for more than three quarters of total streaming revenues, and more than 60% of overall recorded-music revenues.”

    Most streamed song of 2019

    #1 senorita- 1 billion streams – Camila cabello and shawn Mendes

    Most streamed song by a female artist of all time

    #1 – Camila cabello- havana (1.4 B streams)
    #2- dua lipa- new rules (1.3 billion streams)
    #3 Camila cabello – senorita- (1.27 billion streams)

    We all know who made the bulk of that money.

    Meanwhile…
    Normani motivation-160 million streams
    After all the hype
    ???

    Camila cabello biggest flop, liar has 244 million streams.

    ??????

    Normani is not making any money for her record label and they will soon drop her.

      ???

      Meanwhile

      Camila_Cabello Havana” has now surpassed 1.4 billion streams on Spotify. It’s the first song by a lead female act to reach this milestone.

      We love to see it.

      Seniorita is coming also.
      2.7 billion streams so far.

      This is why they are trying to cancel Camila.
      This is why they are always attacking her.

    We like to see it

    • Lizzo & KFC March 1, 2020

      I agree with you ?
      Queen CamilaCabello and her Legendary Lane. Congrats are in order!!! She’s one of the very few that can shift #1 singles. Not everyone has that on their belt. She may not be a strong dancer but she’s a true artist who can sing, write, act, play and produce her own records. Give credit where it’s due and don’t be mad because your fave in fifth Harmony can’t even come close to Camila level even if you combine them. I can see her longevity and more hits on her catalogue. Speak on #facts

      • Lanafan1 March 1, 2020

        She can’t sing though…

  11. Lizzo & KFC March 1, 2020

  13. No Glory March 1, 2020

    How much of that is going towards our red lined communities? Or the innocent people across the globe? I am ready for Yeshua to come back and cleanse this white man’s world. No reasons for companies to generate billions to trillions of dollars and not help common folks.

    • Lanafan1 March 1, 2020

      They do lol. But they’re not obligated to. It’s their money. And they pay taxes. You need to ask where the tax money is going!

    TGJ, stop hyping up Normani she is a flop. That’s why we call her f*******. She has no top 5 hits. And her fans are shady towards Nicki Minaj.
