Nielsen Music's Mid-Year 2017 Charts: Metallica, Twenty One Pilots & Imagine Dragons Dominate Rock

Metallica, Twenty One Pilots and Imagine Dragons lead Nielsen Music’s mid-year rock charts (see lists, below), thanks to new -- and old -- releases from the three acts.

In the tracking period of Dec. 30, 2016 through June 29, 2017, Metallica’s latest studio album, Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, ranks as the most popular rock album in the U.S. The Billboard 200-topping set earned 540,000 equivalent album units, of which 487,000 were in traditional album sales. (It’s also the top selling rock album of 2017; see lists, below). Twenty One Pilots’ 2015 album Blurryfacecontinues to find fans, as it was the No. 2 most popular rock set of the first half of 2017, with 451,000 units earned.

Imagine Dragons’ smash single “Believer” -- which spent 13 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs airplay chart earlier this year --  is rock’s biggest selling digital song so far in 2017 (905,000 downloads) and the most streamed song in terms of on-demand audio streams (105.4 million).

Twenty One Pilots’ 2016 hit track “Heathens,” from the Suicide Squad: The Albumsoundtrack, was the most streamed song overall (audio and video combined) with 185.7 million streams. It was also the top on-demand video, with 110.4 million streams.

Total rock album consumption, based on equivalent album units, fell 7.8 percent in the first half of 2017, to 61.49 million units earned (down from 66.69 million in the first six months of 2016). Total rock album sales eroded 20.9 percent to 32.9 million (down from 41.6 million) and rock digital song sales collapsed 27.9 percent to 63.74 million downloads sold (from 88.47 million a year ago).

Overall streaming of rock songs (audio and video combined) jumped 21.6 percent to 45.5 billion (up from 37.4 billion), while on-demand audio streams vaulted 36.5 percent to 33.3 billion (from 24.4 billion). On-demand video streams fell, however, 6.4 percent to 12.2 billion (down from 13 billion).

Top 10 Most-Played Music Videos On YouTube [Infographic]

First of all thanks to Niall McCarthy for this article.

Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again" has dethroned South Korean megahit "Gangnam Style" to become the most popular music video on YouTube. Since it took the internet by storm five years ago, Psy's "Gangnam Style" was YouTube's most-played music video, amassing 2,147,483,647 views and breaking the website's play counter, forcing the company to tweak its code.

"See You Again" was written for the movie Furious 7,playing in the closing credits as a tribute to the late actor Paul Walker. It was the bestselling song worldwide in 2015 and it surpassed 2 billion YouTube views last September. With 2,901,258,827 views at the time of writing, it has overtaken Gangnam Style's 2,896,057,465. However, its reign as the most-viewed video on YouTube is likely to be short-lived.  "Despacito", by Luis Fonsi, has already gotten 2.5 billion views in six months while Khalifa and Puth's song was viewed 1 billion times during its first half year on YouTube.

The following infographic shows the top-10 most viewed music hits on YouTube at the time of writing. "Despacito" has already skyrocketed up to fifth place and it shows no signs of slowing down. "Sorry" by Justin Bieber is in third place with 2.64 billion views while Taylor Swift is present in the ranking twice. Her songs "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space" have 2.25 and 2.10 billion views, placing them 6th and 10th respectively.

CD Baby Pro Publishing - Atualização No Brasil

CD Baby Pro Publishing now available in Australia and New Zealand (plus Brazil updates)

At the start of 2017, CD Baby Pro Publishing — our publishing administration service for songwriters — was only available in four countries. Over the last six months we’ve rapidly expanded to serve clients in over 40 countries and territories. (See the full list here.)

As of today, we’re happy to announce that CD Baby Pro Publishing is also available in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. This is particularly exciting news for us because Australia represents the 4th biggest national demographic of CD Baby artists, and it means independent songwriters in Australia now have a simple solution to collect all the publishing royalties they’re owed, including:

• All mechanical royalties from Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming sites. These are generated from every single stream.
• All international mechanical royalties from download stores like iTunes. These are generated from every single sale.
• All performance royalties from streaming services (like Spotify), radio, TV, live concert performances and much more.
• Global YouTube publishing administration for any video on YouTube that contains your music.
• Hundreds of other sources of songwriting and publishing royalties from around the world.

In other publishing news, CD Baby Pro Publishing can now work on behalf of Brazilian songwriters affiliated with ANY of the numerous Brazilian performing rights organizations. For details, read this overview.

Our global expansion means that CD Baby Publishing represents the single largest collection of songwriters in the world. We’re administering the publishing rights for hundreds of thousands of songs and representing more than 100,000 writers in more than 40 countries and territories, but we’re not stopping there. As the value of this already crucial service for songwriters increases with the rapid adoption of streaming, we hope to bring CD Baby Pro Publishing to even more countries in 2017 or early 2018.

Sua Personalidade De Procrastinar E Como Gerenciá-la

Your Procrastinator Personality (and how to master it)

Musicians are master procrastinators; here’s how to stall like a boss.

If you’ve ever done gymnastics, one of the things you learn early on is how to fall. Not because the coaches and teachers want you to fall, but because you’re going to fall. You may as well learn how to do it without hurting yourself. I take this same view with procrastinating. It’s inevitable. So why not develop some skills to procrastinate like a boss?

We procrastinate from doing The Thing we know we need to do for a variety of reasons that can usually be rolled into two categories: The Fear or The Overwhelm.

The Fear

We stall when we are subconsciously (or consciously) afraid of possible outcomes from us actually doing The Thing. What if they hate this song? What if I DO get this gig and can’t bring the house down? What if I email them and they say no?

Not confident in the emails you’re sending? Then grab this free music pitching checklist.

Either way, The Fear is usually the #1 thing that stops us from being unstoppable badasses in our music careers.

The Overwhelm

The Overwhelm is when we have no idea what to do first, where to start, or how to do The Thing. We are left anxious, nervous, and wanting to crawl under the covers. The solution? Get into action despite how you feel about it, or ask for help. Break down The Thing into manageable bit-size mini-Things, and you’ll be on your way.

Procrastination coping skills

Now. That all being said, sometimes, on occasion, procrastination still shows up, and that is perfectly OKAY. Since it’s going to happen, let’s make the most of it.

Here are some of my favorite master procrastinator skills matched up with the kind of procrastinator I may be at any given day.

• The Productive Procrastinator: I’m one of those people who normally works well with an impending deadline. Which makes it much easier to put off The Thing that is due until the last-ish minute. I’ll avoid doing The Thing by doing other things I need to do but aren’t high on my priority list… like vacuuming up a week’s worth of shedding dog hair. I lean into this even more by setting myself up the night before; I’ll empty the vacuum, leave it out (and maybe even plugged in) to really make sure that if I AM going to procrastinate, I’m going to make the best of it.
• The Relaxed Procrastinator: As an independent musician and freelance composer, I am always ALWAYS ready to reply to an email, ready to jot down a new lyrical idea, and always looking for the next gig, collaboration, or connection. The urge to procrastinate can be very strong and lead me straight to a hammock or couch. Whether lying outside for a half hour, taking in a few episodes of This Is Us, or walking my dog while calling a friend, the Relaxed Procrastinator gives me the break I should have scheduled. When I do decide to give in, I put a time limit on it (so I stay on track) and I don’t beat myself up about the break I’m taking.
• The Digitally Distracted Procrastinator: You know this one. You look at Twitter one more time. Design one more room in your House Design app. One more round of Candy Crush (do people still play this?). We whip out our phone or open our social media tabs when we get stuck or are stalling doing The Thing. To make the most of this dangerous delayer, be conscious of when you start to wander to your digital vices and take a quick second to ask yourself why you’re wandering and how can you make the most of it? If you’re scrolling around on Facebook, head to that musician group to read and comment on a few recent posts. Watching videos on YouTube? Find another indie musician’s newly released music video and share it with your social networks.
• The Unpleasant Procrastinator: This is when you are so stressed out about The Thing and find yourself pacing around, snapping at your significant other or roommate, complaining about your bandmates or client, or generally just fuming. The only fix here is this: STOP IT. Sit down and do The Thing. You’ll know when it’s time to do it… when you absolutely LEAST feel like it.

Eu Deveria Promover Minha Música? Prepare Um Plano De Marketing

How should I promote my music? Set up a content marketing plan!

The basics of a content marketing plan for musicians.

Music promotion is something a lot of people struggle with.

It can be tough to find something that actually works. After all, your goal is to be able to sell music, merch, and tickets and ultimately make a living from your music, so just getting followers or being “internet famous” isn’t going to cut it.

You can’t eat tweets, and they certainly won’t pay your rent. The social is only one part of the equation.

The strategy you use needs to come full circle to financial support – starting with growing an audience, nurturing that audience, and then driving the sale.

And hey – I know that sounds like a lot. I know the last thing you want is a big marketing strategy that takes up all your time. Making sure you have time for playing, writing, and practicing is the big priority.

So let’s go through a system we’ve been developing that makes promoting your music more efficient, more profitable, and more fun.

This is just a quick overview, so if you want more information, make sure you join us in one of the live webinars we’re hosting on Friday, July 21 at 1PM EST and Sunday, July 23 at 4PM EST. We’re going to be going through each step and sharing some practical applications and examples so you can see everything in action.

Sign up for one of the live sessions here or sign up to get the recorded replay.

Plan

The first step to any successful marketing endeavor is to PLAN – to know what you’re goal is and why.

This goal will be a standard to weigh all your actions and decisions against. And it will make everything a lot clearer in terms of what steps you should take next.

If you’re trying to decide whether a certain gig will actually move you forward, ask yourself, “Is this gig directly related to my goal? Or would my time be better spent elsewhere?”

This planning stage is also where you’ll figure out who your audience is. Every musician should be able to know off the top of their head some basic info about their fans – age ranges, gender divide, general location, and maybe some other bands and musicians they like or some of their general interests.

You can find a lot of this on social media, but I also suggest getting out there and actually talking to your fans. Ask questions on social media, do polls, and get out in the audience after your gigs to get to know who they are and what they’re all about.

This data will help you make decisions like where to tour, what kind of merch to order, what kind of cover songs to include in your set, and so on. It’s all about being able to relate to your audience.

Build

Once you know who you are, where you’re going, and who you’re playing for, it’s time to start building! This is where you’ll use everything you’ve learned to create social media pages, a website, a blog, and an email list that are really focused on your unique career.

If you already have this stuff set up, now is a good time to reassess. Is everything serving you to it’s full potential? Do you need to adjust your brand or how you communicate with your fans?

Your website is the central hub of your music promotion efforts. Your store will live here as well as your email collection forms. I also recommend some kind of “blog.”

I put “blog” in quotes because it definitely doesn’t have to be a typical, text-heavy blog. You can publish anything you want here. The point is to have regularly published fresh content to keep your fans coming back to your site where you can expose them to your store, your tour dates, and your email forms.

Create

Now that we have the foundations, we can start actually creating awesome content that your fans will love.

Start with brainstorming ideas for one blog post and then derive a few social posts and an email from that.

As you create social posts, blog posts, and emails, don’t think about them as three separate things. You can and should be repurposing your content and adapting it for different places. A single blog post can be splintered off into a ton of social posts and an email. When you start thinking like this, promoting your music becomes a lot less time-consuming.

Integrate

And finally, we’re going to integrate everything together into one big funnel.

Ultimately, you want to create a path of movement driving fans to engage on a deeper and deeper level until they are buyers and financial supporters of your music.

And you do this by almost tier-ing the exclusivity of the content you share:

• Social media is for short-form content and day-to-day engagement.
• Your blog is for longer form content and more information (think stuff your solid fans would want to read and watch).
• Your email list functions as an exclusive little club where you share early access and exclusive content you don’t publish anywhere else.

And of course, everything should link together…

So on social you could share a short video from the studio with a link to your blog for the tone breakdown. On your blog you could post a video tutorial breaking down the tone you used with a link to signup for emails to get the full day’s vlog. To your email subscribers you send the full vlog with a link to pre-order the album.

Now, everything you post doesn’t have to be this thought out, but you should at least ask yourself, “What is the purpose of this social post?” They shouldn’t exist in a vacuum, they should all be working towards some common goal.
