Music is in trouble:

artists make little from the streaming of their music;

despite high ticket prices, few concerns tours make much money for the artists themselves;

record industry deals still are often advantageous for musicians;

So what is the future for music?

We've already seen a swing to the domination of those from wealthier families who can bankroll their creative ambitions.

and of course record labels continue to exploit their back catalogue(s).

Have we passed peak pop?
