"The most significant feature of the emergent popular music industry
of the late 18th and early 19th centuries was the extent of its focus on
the commodity form of sheet music".[6]
The availability of inexpensive, widely-available sheet music versions
of popular songs and instrumental music pieces made it possible for
music to be disseminated to a wide audience of amateur music-makers, who
could play and sing popular music at home. In addition to the influence
of sheet music, another factor was the increasing availability during
the late 18th and early 19th century of public popular music
performances in "pleasure gardens and dance halls, popular theatres and concert rooms".[6]
The early popular music performers worked hand-in-hand with the sheet
music industry to promote popular sheet music. One of the early popular
music performers to attain widespread popularity was Jenny Lind,
who toured the US in the mid-19th century. During the 19th century,
more regular people began getting involved in music by participating in
amateur choirs or joining brass bands.
The centre of the music publishing industry in the US during the late 19th century was in New York's 'Tin Pan Alley'
district. The Tin Pan Alley music publishers developed a new method for
promoting sheet music: incessant promotion of new songs. One of the
technological innovations that helped to spread popular music around the
turn of the century was player pianos; these allowed people to hear the new popular piano tunes.[6]
By the early 1900s, the big trends in popular music were the increasing
popularity of vaudeville theaters and dance halls and the new
invention—the gramophone player. The record industry grew very rapidly; "By 1920 there were almost 80 record companies in Britain, and almost 200 in the USA".[6]
Radio broadcasting of music, which began in the early 1920s, helped to
spread popular songs to a huge audience. Another factor which helped to
disseminate popular music was the introduction of "talking
pictures"--sound films—in the late 1920s. In the late 1920s and
throughout the 1930s, there was a move towards consolidation in the
recording industry which led several major companies to dominate the
record industry.[6]
In the 1950s and 1960s, television began to play an increasingly
important role in disseminating new popular music. Variety shows
regularly showcased popular singers and bands. In the 1960s, the
development of new technologies in recording such as multitrack
recorders gave sound engineers an increasingly important role in popular
music. By using recording techniques, sound engineers could create new
sounds and sound effects that were not possible using traditional "live"
recording techniques.[6]
In the 1970s, the trend towards consolidation in the recording
industry continued to the point that the "... dominance was in the hands
of five huge transnational organizations, three American-owned (WEA,
RCA, CBS) and two European-owned [companies] (EMI, Polygram)". In the
1990s, the consolidation trend took a new turn: inter-media
consolidation. This trend saw music recording companies being
consolidated with film, television, magazines, and other media
companies, an approach which facilitated cross-marketing promotion
between subsidiaries. For example, a record company's singing star could
be cross-promoted by the firm's television and magazine arms.[6]
In the 1990s, popular music was changed by the "introduction of
digital equipment (mixing desks, synthesizers, samplers, sequencers)"
which allowed the creation of "new sound worlds" and facilitated DIY
music production by amateur musicians and " tiny independent record labels".[6]
By the 2000s, another trend which affected popular music was the
increasing availability and use of computers and Internet connections,
which facilitated the dissemination—both legal and illegal—of digital
recordings and digital versions of sheet music and lyrics.

Cody Simpson With over 1.3 million Twitter followers, over 1.6 million Facebook likes and over 85 million YouTube views, Cody Simpson is quickly shaping up as a true pop phenomenon. The Queensland, Australia-born singer/songwriter is now poised to ascend even higher with the release of his hugely anticipated new EP, “COAST TO COAST,” which features the Top 40 smash, “On My Mind,” as well as the classic heartbreak ballad, “Not Just You.”
Music played an integral part in Simpson’s life right from the start. Seeing his dad sing and play guitar for friends and family at parties and backyard barbecues taught him the incredible power of music to bring people together. Inspired, he asked for his own guitar and began taking lessons at the age of seven.
After learning but a few chords, Cody wrote his first song. He continued practicing and soon began posting YouTube videos of himself performing his original songs alongside stellar covers by such favorite artists as Justin Timberlake, Jason Mraz, and The Jacksons. Simpson’s YouTube Channel quickly created a worldwide commotion, receiving millions upon millions of views following its August 2008 debut. Among those drawn to Cody’s extraordinary talent was a U.S. based music producer, who reached out to the gifted young performer expressing interest in meeting him. Simpson and his family soon flew to the U.S. to meet with him, collaborating on a number of tracks.
In April 2010, Simpson signed with Atlantic Records, which then released his irresistible debut single, “iYiYi (Feat. Flo Rida).” “Flo and I worked with some amazing people,” says Simpson, “including Colby O’Donis, Bei Major and DJ FrankE. We came up with something really catchy. I think everyone can relate to the lyrics. The song is about liking a girl and missing her when she’s not around. Who hasn’t been through that?”
Now relocated to Los Angeles, Simpson soon began winning over U.S. fans with a series of live performances, including 2010’s Campified tour of over 30 different summer camps across the country. Cody’s debut EP, entitled “4 U,” arrived in December 2010, highlighted by both “iYiYi” and the rhythmic pop of “All Day,” which rose to #1 on Radio Disney’s “Top 30 Countdown.”
“On My Mind,” the first single from “COAST TO COAST,” followed in May and proved to be Cody’s breakthrough U.S. hit. The track skyrocketed to #1 at Radio Disney while also hitting the Top 40 at Pop radio outlets nationwide. In addition, the “On My Mind” companion video – directed by Travis Kopach (Panic! At The Disco, 3OH!3, Boys Like Girls) – turned out to be a certified YouTube smash with over 6 million views and counting.
A truly charming and charismatic live performer, Simpson continued to tour nearly non-stop, including a sold out co-headline tour with Greyson Chance, shows alongside Miranda Cosgrove, and appearances at such events as 98.5 KLUC’s End Of Summer Block Party in Las Vegas, the Y100 Jingle Ball Village Concert in Ft. Lauderdale, and the Arthur Ashe Kids Day festivities at the 2011 U.S. Open. Cody’s own “Coast To Coast Tour” of U.S. malls – presented by Pastry and co-sponsored by Claire’s and Defeat The Label – drew huge crowds everywhere it went, with more than 3,000 fans turning out at each of its 10 stops to see the rising teen star in action.
Cody has also made an array of high profile TV appearances, including NBC’s The Today Show, Nickelodeon’s Bucket & Skinner’s Epic Adventures, The Disney Channel’s So Random, CBS Saturday Early Show, and the nationally syndicated Ellen DeGeneres Show, not to mention as a performer and mentor on Radio Disney and the Disney Channel’s “N.B.T. (Next Big Thing)” talent contest. In addition, Simpson was among the top stars featured at Australian Nickelodeon’s 2011 Kids Choice Awards, where he also received nominations in a trio of categories, including “Awesome Aussie,” “Aussie Muso,” and the prestigious “Super Fresh.” Cody was profiled in a range of national publications, while also receiving extensive TV coverage including E! News and Access Hollywood.
