New Tunes: How Short Form, Long Tail, AI, and the Blockchain Revolutionize Music Yet Again
summary
TikTok claims a massive discovery engine that fuels hits — about 13 of 14 Billboard number ones trace to viral trends — and a Stemdrop campaign racks up 20 billion views as creators remix stems. Musixmatch crowdsources 70 million lyrics and SoundCloud ingests torrents of uploads (it added 75 million tracks last year) enabling direct fan ties. New models tested include fan-powered royalties, AI-assisted lyric generation with unresolved IP, and nascent blockchain rights clearing that still struggles with simple consumer UX.
