V.I.P. Model Agencies | Artists

V.I.P. Model Agencies learns that all this talk of artists selling albums or singles begs the question of how listeners even find out about them. Conventional knowledge suggests that younger listeners almost exclusively learn about new music online, via music video channels or through subscription-based radio services like Sirius XM Satellite Radio. However, best-selling artists like Mobb Deep, Flo Rida, Beyonce and Lil Wayne were originally introduced to the masses via regular old radio. But here's the new wrinkle in the industry's quest for cash: Minority-owned radio stations are battling with Congress and the Recording Industry Association of America over a new royalty structure.
