iTunes Blacklist Bullies
Once again we have a major move in the record industry for majors to take over the industry and shut the minor labels and artists down. Gee does that surprise us?
It started when the major labels fought the digital age. Then when they could not win that battle they bought every digital distributor they could that exists in the world.
Then they embraced streaming services and publicly announcing “Indies are becoming competition and we need to level the playing field” So they made deals with streaming companies. They took in millions of advances to allow these streaming companies to stream their catalogs.
They never asked any of the artists or labels if they wanted or agreed to be streamed, they just did it. Then they took the millions of yearly advances and never shared a dime with the artists or labels. Then they even took the minute airplay royalties and kept them too. Artist know they are now being paid peanuts for music they created that cost them money to create.
Now the majors have aligned themselves with iTunes and developed a blacklist (list below). iTunes is rejecting releases from digital distributors that have had deals with them for many years. These are digital distributors that would not agree to be bought out. So let’s bully them and put them out of business. No reason other than to push them out of business and take over the music industry with the majors. In other words, if a major labels does not own the master recordings, iTunes is taking it down
After all this is the American way. Let’s be corrupt, deceitful, and greedy. INDIE ARTISTS haven’t we all been insulted enough? None of you are making any money on digital distribution anyhow, so why are we supporting these bullies. Because they tell you as an artist you need the exposure? Take your music down and tell iTunes and the majors to go screw themselves.
Not only did they blacklist the artists below but if you have done any remakes of any songs they are pulling them all down. Harry Fox Agency was the premier agency that licensed the Indie Artists to perform and release remakes read this http://www.sesac.com/News/News_Details.aspx?id=2253
What business does a songwriters association have in buying a licensing agency?
Here’s the blacklist. Why is Bing Crosby blacklisted? Why is Eric Clapton blacklisted?

Make Music and Money Too?!?!
The world is filled with artists, bands and songwriters. All are compelled to make music. Why? Because it’s in their soul. They have no choice. It’s a creative outlet, they feel it, breathe and hear in their head.
I have been creating music since I was a kid, and I will never stop. We musicians have to do it regardless of free streaming or whether we make money from it. But we should be paid for our creativity and there are ways even in today’s music market that a creator of music can make a living from it.
“How?”, you ask? The first thing a creator of music has to do is realize that it is a business. Your business of creating music. Like any other business, your business needs capitol to operate. You need a sound business plan and a good product. In this case the good product is good music.
Okay, so you have recorded the tracks at home and think they are good enough for the world to hear. This is generally not correct unless you are one hell of a studio engineer. When you’re done recording take your session files to a great studio. That’s right great – not good. Have them remix and re-master for you. Radio compresses files so if your tracks are thin and goes to radio they will sound thin. The ole’ saying is “If you are going to do something do it right…”.
Now you have a great product. That’s the start of being in business. So now you think you can go to CD Baby and the world will hear you and want your product. Wrong again. You think that people will see your release and want to hear it. There are literally not millions or billions but TRILLIONS of songs on Spotify and other streaming services. How are they going to find you?
So now you think “Ah Ha!”, social media and I will get fans. You will find a lot of other fellow musicians but rarely fans that will buy your music.
The answers are simple. Radio is still the best way to get and artist heard and gain fans. Yes there are a lot of radio promotion companies out there. Some good and some not so good. You want mass airplay around the world. After all, we are all connected globally now.
Don’t promote your music locally or just in your country. Promote it globally. Find a good publisher who knows what they are doing. They will track down your airplay royalties worldwide. Yes, airplay royalties. Radio actually pays you to play your song. The BBC network 1 thru 6 is the largest radio network in the world. If you get picked up on the main BBC networks they pay in the hundreds of dollars for each spin. A hit song can generate thousands in airplay royalties.
That’s one way to make money off your music. Then after radio is playing your music contact them. Tell them you are coming to their town and want to perform. Ask them what some of their advertising venues. They will be happy to tell you and in most cases be happy to do a 3 way call with the venues. Radio will tell the venue you are playing on their station. If they are playing you in Warsaw Poland then you are a star in Warsaw. Use that status. Radio wants the venue’s advertising dollars. You want a good paying gig. You go to the well-advertised gig, get paid and sell out all your merchandise. Radio got paid so they are now your friend and will play anything you send them. The venue had a full house and want you back. It’s a win-win for all.

What most people don’t realize is that the BBC is the largest radio network in the world. You can’t bribe the BBC. You can’t pay them any amount of money to play a song they don’t think their listeners would like to hear or a song that is stale. This applies to radio stations and networks around the world.
The majority of the US market is controlled by major labels, and radio conglomerates and payola in one form or the other. But radio outside the US is dying to get their hands on fresh new songs by artists. These radio networks and stations are not influenced by major labels or payola. They are influenced by their listeners who want to hear fresh new music from fresh new artists. Not the same top 40 artists cranking out the same stale songs.
We have charted countless artist`s new music around the world. We can get your songs heard around the world! Want to be able to tour? You can’t successfully tour without radio support and airplay.
Besides getting your music played and heard around the world you can earn airplay royalties for your song being played. What are you waiting for – Someone to find you among the billions of songs on Spotify and be paid a fraction of a cent?
