In the past 24 hours, the music world has seen several noteworthy developments across various genres and sectors.
NYX Professional Makeup has launched the "Pridemix" campaign, a vibrant celebration of queer artistry at the intersection of music and makeup. This initiative highlights underrepresented voices in music, showcasing rising queer artists and their unique contributions to the industry.
On the business side, the music industry is experiencing significant shifts. The "Your Morning Coffee" podcast, now at its 250th episode, discusses key topics such as the potential resurgence of record stores, similar to the rebirth of bookstores, and the trend of many artists changing management this year. Additionally, the podcast touches on the evolving sales data in indie retail, noting an increasingly younger customer base[2].
In other industry news, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a warning to StubHub, and there are ongoing controversies at the Copyright Office. These developments underscore the complex legal and regulatory landscape that the music industry is navigating[4].
On the performance front, while there are no new major releases or notable performances reported in the last 24 hours, the Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards have announced their winners for 2025, with productions like "Death Becomes Her" and "Romeo + Juliet" taking top honors[3].
In terms of controversies, several high-profile legal battles continue to make headlines. These include lawsuits involving Live Nation-Ticketmaster over monopoly allegations, Drake's lawsuit against his label's parent company over unethical tactics, and a copyright infringement suit against Miley Cyrus for her song "Flowers," which some argue is an answer to Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man"[5].
These updates reflect the dynamic and often contentious nature of the music industry, where artistic expression, business practices, and legal disputes are continually intertwined.
