4.3 Musicopoly - PDE

Where we have been...
The Brits is a promotional event for Major Record Labels.
The Big 3 - Warner, Sony, Universal - Conglomerate (A Media Industry than operates in different countries)
UK artists = UK audience
Taylor Swift - big UK audience, further promotion

Independent Labels not represented - a skewed picture of success - only Commerical value this year (2015)

Adele (2012-13) biggest global selling artist signed XL records (Indie UK)
Thermometer this year MAJOR LABELS ARE STILL COMMERICALLY SUCCESSFUL
Are they Critically Successful (ie 'good' music) - Mercury Music Awards/Journalism?
