@LuckyMngoasheng It's the super-fan phenomenon which impacts on things like physical formats, merch sales, tours/residencies. Japan is the world's leading physical market, and the second largest music market overall, so their consumption drives up such growth. South Africa is quite different.

@HuUpu_ @Gert_LeNinja You'd need to get into studio with them, but you are wrong if you imagine that you couldn't produce music without operating a DAW to make/program beats, whether the song has vocal accompaniment or not. Here's one video that should help you understand: https://t.co/IJj7Jizg5L.

@tswelomosenyi It's a mistake that many artists make. Then again, you may find that they are adhering to the rigidity of the contractual standards of their record company, where an album is often defined as a digital bundle containing not fewer than 10 tracks and at least 35 minutes runtime.

@Boujeena Look, it's fascinating: scouting talent, discovering music before it breaks, connecting artists with the right music/songwriters/producers/collaborators, developing artists, crafting commercial opportunities and ensuring projects resonate with audiences. Chance granted, take it!

@SAMROMusic Please explain the exact data used to determine the award. Was it based on radio airplay, TV airplay, or an aggregated frequency count/audience reach across different broadcast platforms? What was the eligibility period for measuring the winning song’s performance? @TheSAMAs

@Balelekeng On the whole, the Constitutional Court's ruling is surprising at the very least. It'll be interesting to see how Parliament moves to strike a balance, and how in practice, with fair use now confirmed, the law is going to be implemented. It promises to get rather messy.

@Balelekeng Not specifically addressed, but the language around royalty-sharing provisions and ministerial discretion provide a wide (controversial) scope of intervention through regulatory powers. This could come up short on contractual certainty and compliance with international treaties.

@Balelekeng Yes. The CAB introduces the Copyright Tribunal as a formal mechanism for dispute resolution, royalty enforcement and the oversight of CMOs. It also makes provision for ministerial intervention in certain cases, which is rather contentious when read in its current form.

@MANGENGE_ @2022AFRICA Not smart enough to google IFPI, but would be grateful to have you share the report 🙏.

@MANGENGE_ @2022AFRICA This is a conversation that's most likely out of your depth, judging by your comment. Our brother will share the resource(s) if he's inclined to do so. 🤝

@2022AFRICA Amazing! Do you mind sharing the source data or a link?
