Whether it be the transition from analogue to digital formats or the continual shifting of music preferences and tastes, the industry is no stranger to change. Since the introduction of vinyl records in the 1940s, the music industry has experienced major shifts in the way people consume their music. Interesting fact #1: Mariah wrote ‘All I Want For Christmas is You’ in just 15 minutes, and yet in 2017, the song was reported to have earned the singer $60 million in royalties. In fact, it didn’t reach the number one spot until 2019 … some 25 years later!! Indeed, a lot has changed over the years for the music industry.
CDs have just tipped cassettes in becoming the music format of choice, and Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas has yet to reach the number one spot in the US Billboard charts.
