UK Top 40- Record Labels/ Music Industry

Here is a short Radio Chart Show I created to show the record label companies of the UK Top 10. As you can pick up from listening, the majority of the record label companies that produce the top 10 are owned by Universal, Sony or Warner; these are part of the Big 4. We can also see that there are only some songs that use an independent company to help produce it. As well as this the main genre of all the top 10 songs are dance tracks.

Overall this took a couple of lessons to create, throughout the process there were some problems with the equipment. This has reminded me of some of the issues that can occur; so whilst planning our time for filming we needs to take this all into account and have a contingency plan. I used an audio recorder to create my speaking parts and I downloaded the music clips from the internet. I then uploaded them all to my computer and used Adobe Audition to edit each clip and made sure that the sound volume levels were even throughout. As well as this I used a fade in and fade out affect so that all the speaking parts could be heard over the top of the music tracks and everything flowed too.

Here is some further analysis of the Uk Top 15 done by Harry, a member of the group. As you can see there are some trends such as: Most of the artists are from the UK or USA, they are mainly males in the top 15. As well as this the main genre throughout this list seems to be pop/house music. All the artists are fairly young mainly being in their twenties. Also the majority are a recent artists having their active singing years late 2000's. This will help us in promoting an artist as we can see what is trending in today's music market and where there are gaps with certain genres.
