Music; You-Tube, Much More Than Your Average Music Website!

66

By Brett.Tesol

Imagine a world where you could not access your favorite websites or music at the click of the button? A world where you would be out of the loop, missing new popular music and which are the latest news on popular music artists. For most audiophiles, this would spell disaster as music is a very real and important aspect of their daily lives. In this world, the way music influences peoples' daily lives would be very different and kind of sad. A world without easy music is difficult for many to imagine.


If you are searching for new music and who the most recent pop artists are, then there are plenty of ways to find out. For traditional music listeners, you would probably want to listen to your favorite music station, either digitally or via traditional radio. However, chances are high that you would choose at some point to use the different music channels of major music websites, such as those provided on YouTube, in order to find which artists are trending the airwaves.


Music YouTube channels are perhaps the most popular way for artists to gain recognition and build a reasonable fan base, as this site reaches millions and has a habit of causing the viral spreading videos! In fact, a number of analysts would evaluate the success of an artist based on how well their music is received on major music websites such as YouTube.


Justin Bieber was discovered due to the huge sensation he caused on his YouTube Channel when he released his first songs. This was way before he was signed by Usher’s Music label. In fact, a large number of the popular music artists today are using music YouTube channels to gain popularity among internet audiences and hoping to be discovered themselves.


YouTube isn’t just a way for artists to build fan bases. In fact, it is much more than the average website. YouTube has one of the largest internet communities now, whereby people of different backgrounds can come together and share in something that they find interesting, shocking, meaningful, or just plain great! YouTube, offers many options for different audiences to chat about the artists and videos that they find appealing, and to also comment on those who they do not like so much, often in very critical terms.


A simple music search on “new music out” will reveal a number of songs that you probably wouldn’t have heard off before. This is how the internet is spreading new music faster than ever. Recommendations from your friends and even people you may never have met on this website can reveal many more music and video options to you; some of which may eventually become lifetime favorites.

In just a few years, it's likely that few people will remember the world without Google or Youtube.

I think it's fascinating that newcomers can put their product out to the world in such an easy fashion. I suspect more than few established artists envy the ease with which one can now garner an audience.

Thanks for SHARING.

youtube is becoming a must use for Internet marketers as well as aspiring musicians. It is the second most used search engine on the internet.

We still live in the dark ages and have everything we have posted there locked down. Our video's are only used for hubs. We found employees here spend too much time on youtube so limit access.

Voted up, interesting, and Sharing with our younger audience on twitter.

I love You Tube! It's a great place to find old and new music. I discover so many artists there that I don't think I've ever known if it wasn't for You Tube. I use the videos many times in my hubs. Great hub with good info! Rated up and Sharing!

Hi, glad you all agree :-). I haven't heard of the Piano Guys, so may just take a wee look. I too was actually born at a time when the internet didn't exist, but I can no longer imagine life without it ... music, video, and interesting articles at the touch of a button (or screen) is great!

I adore music on YouTube. It is amazing how even "old stuff" can be found. On my daughter's 30th birthday we looked up the POP music for the week..... Rod Stewart's If you think I'm Sexy ( Jan 20th, 1979). And on my son's 25th we found Van Halen's Jump!( Feb. 19, 1984) Voted up and SOCIALLY SHARED!

I have discovered so many artists I didn't know existed while playing around on YouTube. I don't think I've ever gone there and just viewed one video. One leads to two and two leads to many!

Voted useful and up! SOCIALLY SHARED! Thanks for SHARING!

I was born in 1969 so I guess I grew up in the kind of world where music could not be listened to with the click of a button and we didn't know what a website was. Having said that, we didn't even know what the internet was so we had nothing to give us a feeling like we were missing out. This is a great hub. I never knew that Justin Bieber was discovered on youtube. I am going to go search "new music out" on youtube and see what I can find. Very informative and useful. Thank your for SHARING.

I use You tube almost daily. I often use them in my hubs and for my personal pleasure. Have you heard of the Piano Guys? They are amazing musicians - I love their music and the You tube allows me to watch them as they play. They are true lovers of music.

Nice Hub and nice to meet you!

Voted up and Awesome.

thanks again my friend for your most informative hub. Voted up and interesting. Also received an idea from another comment on a previous hub about Spotify- know anything about that? I joined, but only the free version but I'm having trouble finding my way around. Maybe one has to have the paid version before one can navigate the site. Just thought I'd ask. Keep up the good work...

I often go here to find music that isn't available on Spotify. Obviously the visuals add a level of interest. Voting this Up and Interesting. Thanks for SHARING.
