Online Revolution




The new revolution of music downloads has affected how bands and artists promote their music.

The Arctic Monkeys took advantage of the online revolution, they became successful through the social networking site, myspace. The band put their songs up on their myspace page available for everyone to listen to. If people liked what they heard then they would go out and purchase the album or download it off itunes or other such programs.
Other bands like Metallica for example, didn't like the idea of people being able to listen to their songs without paying to do so, this lost them quite a lot of fans as they proved to the public that they were only in it for the money. Whereas other bands were in it purely for the love of music and weren't as fussed about people listening to music for free.

Other artists like Lily Allen, for example, had similar ideas as the Arctic Monkeys.
