Google and the Music Industry

http://www.amsrabbit.comhttp://www.amsrabbit.comGoogle made a couple of announcements in relation to the music industry at the Google's I/O developer conference. "Google's most direct foray into music comes via the announcement that it had purchased Simplify Media two months ago, and will incorporating its technology in a new version of Android that enables users to stream music directly from their home PCs. That's a very different approach than MP3Tunes, Spotify or Apple's soon to be defunct Lala and others who have focused on storing music in the cloud.

Just as importantly Google announced that a new upgrade for Android will enable over the air downloads and auto-synch to all Android powered devices. No word yet, it Google is opening its own music store or just opening it's system to Amazon and others. Either way, its direct challenge to iTunes."

More About Live Nation Losses

(Updated) Losses grew at Live Nation last quarter as the company absorbed the cost of its January 25th merger with Ticketmaster, a drastic drop in income from Tickets Now and faltering concert attendance.

The company claims that the merger will eventually save $40 million in redundant costs. But that won't help much if ticket sales continue to fall. Last year they dropped 3% to 6.8 million from 7.1 million in the previous year while total spending per concert goer grew 2% to $59.71 from $58.57.

Black Eyed Peas has Best Selling Digital Download of All Times

It Takes a Nation of Millions to Make the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" the Best-Selling Digital Download of All Time

5,561,000 million, to be exact. That gives the Black Eyed Peas #1 and #4 ("Boom Boom Pow," 5,298,000) on the all time digital sales list--which has been around since July of 2003--reports Billboard. For context, there were roughly 252,908,000 internet users in America, total, circa 2009. Though it's probably safe to assume that Europeans did a lot of the work in this case.
