WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THIS INFORMATION?
As you are aware, artist pricing is ever changing, and budgets don’t always allow you to book the top artists, however – there are still fun ways to incorporate trending artists into your events. Create playlists with charting/trending music, build popular lyrics into your captions, or use trending audio for quick marketing clips (within copyright and licensing restrictions.)
