Profitable Markets For Foreign Distribution


     In the last couple of posts on this blog I have spoken about budgeting for media distribution as well as a bit of the change that has occurred in laws governing the content that is being distributed. In addition to the posts regarding law and technical changes of the overall entertainment business landscape, there have been more specific entries regarding information for foreign distribution and licensing for ancillary revenue sources. Topics for entertainment business consultants, publishers, and independent artists, labels, and managers are the purpose of this blog, and specific information is often not repeated unless it is asked by the audience to possibly provide some additional resources on a topic in general, as most of the posts here reflect questions I am asked weekly in my work.
     So, this week for my independent audience, as well as my entertainment business audience of consultants, producers, publishers, etc, I will provide a few resources that will build on my previous post, found here, regarding global music sales, territory specific sales information, and global charting history for researching genres, songs, and artists, that have found success in foreign markets. I know you will find the information valuable, and after a bit of research you will undoubtedly begin to "get in where you fit in."
This report from the IFPI will help anyone looking for specific information as it relates to separate platforms, territories, and more.
Here one can search charts and successful artists, genres, and songs across different time periods in just about any country in the world.
3. This chart is an indicator of global music sales separated by country and can give one a starting point when thinking about where to begin their research, or campaign.
