Music is a business to those who understand it
If music wasn't a business then artist wouldn't sign contracts, a & rs wouldn't exist and they wouldn't call labels record companies
Music is also an expression of art .. millions of people make music but few have the ability to realise or get to the point to see the business side
Any artist that gets heavy radio play can land on the pop chart ... pop is short for popular
Music also has categories and sub categories and then those have sub categories and so on
Music to some is a simple as grabbing a beat from uhoh and spitting some words to a track or playing a guitar riff
Music as a business is promotion, marketing, getting those songs in commercials or video games trademarking your name starting a clothing line open your own label all started with the BUSINESS known as the music industry
