๐Ÿšจ AvA IRL Touches Down In Nashville

Our Nashville Panel Series is sponsored by our friends over at ONErpm:

๐Ÿ Looping You In (7 things you need to know)

1) Bonnaroo was canceled last weekend due to severe weather. 

๐ŸŠ Deeper Dive: Many artists felt the show must go on, with Remi Wolf bringing her Superjam to Nashville featuring performances with Paramoreโ€™s Hayley Williams, Mt. Joy, Gigi Perez, and Grouplove.

2) โ€˜How To Train Your Dragonโ€™ debuts with $84 million in the first week. This is the first time DreamWorks Animation has ever done a live-action remake of a movie, and HTTYD now has the 6th most successful debut for a live-action remake internationally as well. Sequel already locked in for 2027.

๐Ÿง  Industry Insight: Through the first half of 2025, PG films have generated $1.53 billion at the box office. Those ticket sales represent roughly 41% of the year-to-date revenue, the highest percentage of any rating this year according to Comscore.

3) YouTube reports they contributed $55 billion to the US GDP and supported 490,000 full-time jobs in 2024.

4) U.S. music publishing revenue increased by 13.4% to $7 billion in 2024. This marks the 10th consecutive year of double-digit music publishing revenue growth in the US. Over the same period, the difference between record music and music publishing revenue has now closed from recorded music having a 220% lead โ€“ down to only 60%.

5) Coca-Cola launches record label with Universal Music Group. The label is called โ€˜real things records,โ€™ and their mission is to empower rising artists. The first signees are Max Allais and Aksomaniac. Read more.

6) Streaming officially tops linear TV. For the first time last month, Americans spent more time watching streaming services than broadcast and cable combined

7) StubHub threatens to leave UK market if price cap implemented. StubHub International chief executive chief executive Bob Kupbens said that โ€œeven at 30%, we feel very strongly that would make it very challenging for us to operateโ€ in the UK. Read more.

๐Ÿ“ Tip of the Day:

Be open to opportunities along the way that werenโ€™t part of your original plan. This industry rarely rewards people who stick rigidly to a blueprint, it rewards those who stay curious, adaptable, and willing to say yes when something unexpected shows up.
