Through 2015, Classic Artists Records has worked to build a global marketplace via conventional radio, internet, satellite, pay on demand and podcast programming. In the last nine months, expansive work to distribute music via Jango, Spotify, Pandora, Soundcloud, Rdio, Google All Play, and host of other streaming services has accumulated over 192 countries where southern gospel music is being played. Over 145 thousand plays during this expansion, equaling 22 plays each hour for the last nine month. That is over 525 plays per day!
In addition to the USA and Canada, Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Norway and Spain are hot beds for gospel music. Central and South America has seen extensive growth in Peru, Chile and Honduras; while Southeast Asia is seeing an increase in searches and single plays.
DJs have been active with music delivery sites with FREE account set up at MusicToRadio.com, ArtistPR.com and podcast platforms from ArtistFirst.com. Each website offers 24/7 music download accessibility for immediate airplay.
The largest average age group searching and playing Classic Artists Records music is aged from 25 to 35. Following close is the 45 to 55 age bracket. The mix of male vs. female is almost fifty percent for both.
As Classic Artists Records has answered email requests and filled cd orders, the comments are most encouraging. Fans are excited and love the music variety offered. The artists’ excitement and the reach of southern gospel music is contagious. The music shows tremendous long term lasting effects that will allow a greater marketplace for tours and music sales. Complimenting artist websites, CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon and other on demand music sources are making it easier than ever to get the artists music. These sites have allowed fans to create their own music mixes for personal use on their web based devices by mixing songs, artists and even music genres.
Media news is driven by print and e-magazines including SGN Scoops, Singing News, Southern Gospel Magazine, SoGospel News, Absolutely Gospel, The Gospel Times, CCM Magazine, Christianity Today, Christian Voice among others.
The marketplace is no longer limited to a touring region or in-concert music sales. Charlie Griffin and the Pine Ridge Boys have seen an increase in website traffic and in their social media sites. Interactive artist websites, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest are huge venues for fan involvement leading to increased online sales and concert attendance with rising in-person sales. This increased interest has also spawned a larger touring area answering the demand for personal appearances. Supported by television appearances and radio guest stops, the artists are seeing unprecedented growth.
For a relatively new music company, what this says is gospel music is growing and people are hungry for music that offers hope and positive message. Classic Artists Records and all affiliated labels are excited to be offering music with a positive message with two veteran artists that continue a rich legacy in gospel music.
