What I Have Found Out About Music Videos

firstly, independent and major record labels are very different in idea and target audience. but, as Keith Negus said, ' there is a web of major and minor labels.' they all help eachother in the market. the music video's are also an extended advert for the artist and record label. seperating the independent labels to the major labels.

Oligopoly is a selection of companies that own and/or control a an area of the market. an example of this would be the 'big 5'..
1. Sony
2. Universal
3. BMG
4. Warner
5. EML
 These labels own 76% of the Brittish music market with the Independent labels only owning 24%
