First, radio play exposes music to new audiences who may not have otherwise heard it. Second, radio play can help to generate interest in an artist or song, which can lead to increased sales and concert attendance. Third, radio play can help to build an artist’s fan base, which can provide long-term support for their career. Finally, radio play can simply be a fun way to enjoy music.Radio is still an important platform for artists to reach new audiences and build a fan base. It can be a powerful tool for promoting new music and connecting with listeners. Radio stations can help break new artists and expose them to new listeners. And radio reaches, engages and retains the largest audiences and generates annual revenues twice the size of the recorded music industry. The spotlight of radio allowed the personalities of artists to come to the forefront of popular music, giving them newfound notoriety. Phil Harris, the bandleader from the Jack Benny Show, became the star of his own program. Other famous musicians used radio talent shows to gain fame. Popular programs such as Major Bowes and His Original Amateur Hour featured unknown entertainers trying to gain fame through exposure to the show’s large audience. Radio is the current device that we current use that will continue to be used to disseminate music in the future because Radio boasts incredible reach. Within your local radio station’s broadcasting area, you can deliver your message to a huge number of ears. Approximately 94% percent of Americans listen to local radio in a given month. That level of reach for a single medium is unmatchable in today’s fragmented media marketplace. In an era where there are so many sources for entertainment… streaming, cable, satellite, local TV, the fact that radio impacts 94% of Americans in a month is remarkable. Radio can’t be beaten if you want to build your brand in your local market!Post 2: OluremiAretha Franklin’s style is so influential because of its ability to bridge the gap between genres and generations. She was able to connect with audiences through a range of musical styles, including gospel, soul, jazz, and pop. By blending different musical elements, she created a unique sound that resonated with people of all ages, races, and backgrounds. Her powerful vocals and emotive delivery conveyed a deep sense of emotion and soul, which made her music relatable and meaningful to listeners. Many artists have cited Franklin as an inspiration, and her music continues to influence newcomers in the industry today. Franklin’s style broke down racial barriers in the music industry. Her success during the civil rights movement in the 1960s was a symbol of hope for African Americans who were fighting for equal rights. Her music connected with people of all races and backgrounds, and she became a voice for social change.Furthermore, Franklin’s stylistic influence extends beyond the musical realm. She was a trailblazer for women in the music industry who paved the way for female empowerment and equality. Franklin was unafraid to speak her mind and challenged the social norms of her generation, making her an icon not just in music but in feminism as well. Her impact on popular culture is immeasurable, and her music will continue to inspire and influence new generations for years to come.When I think of the women making music today there are many very influential artists that come to mind (Beyoncé, Adele, Lana Del Rey, etc.) but I don’t think they will have as much influence as Aretha has had.
