For the past eight months, Exploration Group and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce have been working on The Music Industry Report – 2020. We chose to undertake this project in spite of—and in many ways, because of—the heavy economic impact of COVID-19 on our industry.
The Music Industry Report – 2020 brings together some of the world’s foremost experts to weigh in on what they are experiencing and how they are finding ways to move forward. It is a data-driven narrative of triumph, loss, challenge, growth, and inspirational effort.
We plan to dive in over the next several weeks and provide you with some of the most compelling market research from this year’s Music Industry Report – 2020. But first, we want to share our deepest gratitude on this Thanksgiving 2020 for all those who helped make The Music Industry Report – 2020 possible. Thank you to the interview candidates, focus group participants, survey respondents, advocacy groups, businesses, organizations, and researchers who make The Music Industry Report – 2020 an accurate representation of the global music industry. Thank you to the music creators who power this business, and to the professionals who represent their work with integrity and respect.
Sign up to receive The Music Industry Report – 2020 on December 10th:
