I don’t recall seeing a T-shirt with Richie (the drummer between Marky’s first and second stints) or C.J. You might not know the song, but you’ve probably heard it: the song’s “Hey ho, let’s go!” chorus can be heard at sporting events!Īnd you’ve probably seen its unmistakable icon, the four members’ names circling an eagle, has been licensed to T-shirt makers that sell everywhere including mall chain stores - but the names are always (almost always?) the 1970s lineups: Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and one of the first two drummers, Tommy or Marky.
The most well-known song, “Blitzkrieg Bop,” is from the 1976 debut album. These cornerstone albums show a unique ability to carry a tune inside two-minute, furious bursts of buzzsaw guitar and a hard-driving rhythm section. Their first four albums in the ‘70s - the self-titled debut, Leave Home, Rocket to Russia, and Road to Ruin, all in just three years - are widely considered to be the band’s high mark, an influential body of work that created a template for punk bands to follow for decades. The Ramones, from Queens in New York City, produced 14 studio albums and four live albums in its 20-year recording career. Labels must build on that solid foundation by diversifying, taking risks, encouraging entrepreneurship, breaching into new markets, and keeping the business moving forward. Now that streaming is the breadwinner, recorded music has turned a corner. The record business has reached an important point in its history. (At the same time, mass merchants now sell a small number of titles on vinyl.) Labels have shifted resources away from brick-and-mortar retail in favor of digital products and online marketing. Small record stores rely more on new and used vinyl than in previous years. Brick-and-mortar retailers have continually dedicated less shelf space physical formats. Such a drastic phasing out of the CD never transpired.) Instead, CD sales have steadily declined each year for nearly two decades. (I recall a distribution executive saying ten years ago that Walmart would stop stocking CDs in the next year or two. CDs never fell off the frequently-predicted cliff.

While streaming is headed up, CD and digital download sales are plummeting in the other direction. The gap-called the “value gap”-between premium and ad-supported ARPU have drawn criticism from both rights owners and creators YouTube, with high volume and low royalties, is the foremost target. Advertising-supported services have grown, too, although they have a lower average revenue per user. Premium plans, both individual or family, represent the bulk of on-demand royalties.

The lion’s share of streaming money, and thus the main driver of the global industry, comes from on-demand listening. Artists like streaming because….well, many artists appreciate the exposure streaming can provide, but they aren’t happy with the royalties. Labels like streaming because it produces recurring, predictable revenue without the seasonal tides (neap in summer, spring during the holidays).
Physical products amount to $4.7 billion-Japan alone had $2.05 billion. Streaming is the new cash cow and represents over half ($9.1 billion) of the record industry’s global trade revenue ($19.1 billion). In the United States, the Music Modernization Act, passed in December, will unclog some messes in licensing and will provide songwriters better royalties (although the “how” hasn’t been worked out). Yes, people are having a good time (although amounts of elation vary).Ĭonsumers are paying for music (although some-OK, many-people aren’t happy with streaming royalties).Īd-supported streaming is growing (although too slowly, some might say).

The intro in Primal Scream’s “Come Together,” with a snippet from the movie “The Wild Angels,” also came to mind: Now they have “Something To Believe In ( Animal Boy). With revenues of $19.1 billion, 2018 was the fourth straight year of growth after a decade and a half of bleeding.Īround 2000, labels were complaining “Somebody Put Something In My Drink” ( Animal Boy, 1986). Today companies are growing and money is returning. A decade ago the music industry was thick with trepidation and worry. So the song “We’re a Happy Family” ( Rocket To Russia, 1977) popped into my head. The collective record business, comprised of labels in diverse markets around the globe, is continuing its four-year, upward path from a revenue abyss. The band typically doesn’t come to mind when pouring over data like countries’ annual ad-supported audio streaming revenue (United States is #1) or a list of countries ranked by physical product revenue (Japan is #1). I thought of the legendary punk band the Ramones a month or two ago when browsing through the latest IFPI (International Federation of Phonograph Industry) report on global recorded music sales in 2018.
