Grammys Should Listen to Innovators Awards Presentation
The Grammys air at 8 p.m. Sunday on CBS drawing 17.5 million viewers, down 12 percent from last year and 42 percent from the 1993 peak of 30 million. The music industry has lost one third of CD sales since 2000, with Universal Music Group Sony BMG EMI and Warner Music as major losers. Illicit downloads now outnumber paid downloads 40 to 1 as artists like Radiohead Nine Inch Nails and Lil Wayne bypass traditional publicity to reach fans directly, earning big first week revenue and reshaping engagement. The industry could learn from their direct-to-fan approach rather than pursuing lawsuits against file-sharers.
