A Newsbeat music reporter has written an article about how YouTube has not being paying British musicians enough.
This has shown how music videos are not just promotional videos but also a product in themselves as so much revenue is made from these videos than before.
The music industry is changing and evolving with the new media, such as YouTube and the way that young people watch and receive music. Music is most widely seen and heard via the internet, YouTube being the biggest supplier as artists release their music on the streaming website either as just audio tracks, lyric videos or music promos.
However with the evolution of how we access music, music videos are no longer just promotional videos they bring in huge amounts of revenue for artists, as their videos get more views the more money an artist is payed.
YouTube is such an accessible platform that it is not only already established artists using the site to share their music but up and coming unsigned artists.
