The book's structure unfolds in four parts, beginning with an introduction to music genres as both artistic and business constructs. It then examines the historical development of genre classifications, tracing their evolution from the early 20th century to the present day. Furthermore, the book analyzes sales data to map the commercial trajectories of specific genres, looking at factors behind their rise, peak, and reinvention.
Finally, it discusses the implications of these findings for artists, industry professionals, and consumers, offering insights into navigating the contemporary music landscape. This approach is valuable to anyone interested in the music industry, popular culture, or the intersection of art and commerce. By using archival data from record labels, industry publications, and sales data, the book provides a data-driven perspective on how the music industry influences cultural tastes and consumer behavior.
