ITV 1, CHANNEL 4, CHANNEL 5, are just some of the TV programs which allow you to watch music videos on for free but the negative is that music isn't always shown on the channels, mainstream TV isnt popular when it comes down, the age to watch is any age because nothing on these channels is bad. an example of an artist which has been seen on one of these channels is Ed Sheeran and The Wanted. The disadvantage of having your song played on mainstream tv is that it is hardly ever on there because it is not known for music videos to be played on TV, they may only get a clip of there video on a chat show or a morning show.The advantage is that even though it rarely happens but when it does you song can become known and you could get more fans because of having such a small clip shown on TV. Daybreak is a channel which sometimes has well known artits on there, they play a little bit of there new single so it creates awareness fo many fans. when fans see the video there can be alot of news going around about that music video.
Music channels-
MTV, AKA and KISS are some of the music channels which are popular to the world. In peoples spare time they watch the music channels to see what a songs music video looks like. Music channels are easily accesseble to everyone unless you dont subscribe to the music channel and the music channels runs 24 hours a day, the audience that music channels aim it can vary on the channel you are watching; Kiss - 15+, Aka - 15+, these two are just some of the music channels on TV. The advantage of having your song broadcasted on a channel like this can make you become popular and well known and also it can make you earn money because your song is being played. The disadvantage is that it can get repetitive meaning that people will not view the programme all the time.
Direct CD/DVD-
A CD is not as important now because itunes is around but before itunes was around CD was bought so people could listen to music at home or in there cars, CD (compact disc) had loads of tracks on it, songs by the artist that sung the song, a CD is avalible to anyone, any age. CD'S can be bought anywhere even on Itunes, but the main place to buy them is at shops like HMV, this shop specialises in selling CD and DVD and it also brings out new CD when they first introduced. The advantage of selling there CD in HMV is that you song will be bought from there and it can also be sold all over the worlds in different HMV shops. The disadvantages of selling your song in a shop like HMV is that when your song is sold out they could take really long before they bring in any more stock and also buying CD isnt as popular as it was many years ago, now you can go on websites and download songs. A CD can earn more money than single albums because they are more expensive than an artrist single.
Streaming websites-
Youtube is a widely known website to watch latest music videos and to find up coming artists, Youtube is easily accesseble through the internet and people are constantly uploading pictures for the rest of the world to see. Anyone can watch videos of youtube. SBTV is part of youtube and it is a thing where you can view songs from artists and it is easy to watch. The advantage for an artist is that they can have there song video uploaded before the song it self has even come out, this can cause many fans to want to buy the song before it has even come out, The disadvantage of having your video on you tube is that your song could be viewed alot less than other artists because there song could be more popular and also many people create spoofs and silly videos about the song your singing. Streaming websites are popular because they always keep up to date Streaming websites-
Artist websites-
Artist websites are good because you can view the artists videos before anyone else and bevore they have even come out, if people dont know the artist then the artists website wont be as used as much, the age to go on the websites probaly varies btween the artist and his music. http://www.jlsofficial.com/gb/home/ This is the official website of JLS, this is where they can update there new and upcoming songs and also put private videos on there of them selves singing or talking. The advantage of having a website is that they can become popular by having lots of people view there website and also it will tempt people to buy the new single that they have on there official website, artist websites always keep up to date with many tours that they are doing. They also put there latest song on there websites.
Downloads (legal and illegal)-
Downloading songs has become really popular now because it is quick to get a new song, it doesnt take long for it to download and you can download songs anywhere you go, downloading songs illegaly can be bad because you can cause your phone or computer to catch a virus. downloading songs can be downloaded by anyone. The advantage of downloading songs is that you can easily share the song by sending it to someoen else, it doesn't cost anything, doesn't make you carry around a CD just to listen to a song. The disadvantage of downloading songs is that it can cause viruses, it can take a long period of time before it has even downloaded, you are commiting a crime because you are not paying for a song.
