Music Industry Corruption

Music Industry Corruption exposes the unethical business practices that plague the music industry, from payola scandals to rigged music charts.

A key insight is how record labels bribe radio stations to play specific songs, regardless of merit, distorting the marketplace.

The book begins with a historical overview, tracing the rise of payola to today's digital manipulation tactics. It then dissects the mechanics of payola and chart manipulation, analyzes artist exploitation through unfair contracts, and explores deception in the digital age, such as streaming manipulation.

The book provides a data-driven analysis of corruption, offering potential solutions like stricter regulations and increased consumer awareness. By exposing the scope and impact of corruption, this book equips readers with the knowledge to advocate for change, understand their rights, and promote ethical practices.
