Nudne. Słyszeliśmy to już tysiące razy. Rock umarł.
Nie chodzi o to, że nic ciekawego się już w tej materii nie pojawia (chociaż to osobny temat). Chodzi o to, że muzyka rockowa nie jest już siłą napędową branży muzycznej. Warto spojrzeć na statystyki:
Last year saw the number of rock songs in the singles chart fall to its lowest level in half a century, with only three tracks appearing in the top 100 best-selling hits in the UK.
The percentage of rock songs plummeted from a sickly 13% in 2009 to a terminal 3% – far behind hip-hop/R'n'B at 47%, pop at 40% and dance 10%, according to figures from MusicWeek.
(...)There are rock acts still doing well, but it is the old guard: there is now, it seems, little new in rock. Bon Jovi was the highest grossing live act of 2010, bringing in $201.1m (£130.7m) in world ticket sales. However, its frontman is 48, and according to a report by Deloitte, 40% of the frontmen of the top 20 highest-grossing live acts in the US will be 60 or over next year; almost one in five acts will be over 50.
Gorąco polecam reszte artykułu.
