Korn Ya’ll Want a Single

Music monopoly

One corporation owns the five major video channels in the US

Is that OK?

Last year the big 5 record labels together sold about 25 billion dollars of music

90% of all realeses on major labels do not make a profit

Britney spears last video cost 1,000,000

This korn video costs 150,000

(after 50 seconds of video) you have now seen 48,000 worth of video

will any music channel play this video?

The music “industry” releases 100 songs per week.

Only four songs are added to the average radio “playlist” each week

Hit songs on top 40 are repeated over 100 times a week.

Is that all you want to hear?

Why is a song worth 99 cents

Do you download songs?

Steal this video

This is a single.

Two radio congolerates control 42% of listeners

The record company wanted to change this video. We didn’t.

Ya’ll want a single?

90% of all singles get to the hook within 20 seconds

98% of all singles are less than 3:30 seconds long

does that seem like a formula to you?

With all that said…

We love making music

Is this the music buisiness?

Is that okay?

Thank you for your 3 minutes of time

Music monopoly?

Love, Korn

Korn exposing the music industry?!

Now I am the FIRST person to admit when a song is "bad," and well, Korn's "Ya'll Want a Single" is a TERRIBLE song. The music is lacking, and the lyrics... don't even get me started!
But a single dosen't necesarily correlate to the music video. So while you might want to mute this song, there is no denying that the video is GREAT, and informative to say the least!

After the popularity of their album "Follow the Leader" (1998) Korn chose to use their status in an attempt to expose the medi industry. In 2003, they released "Take a Look in the Mirror." The album reached number nine on the billboard charts, and sold over 179,000 copies in its first week. The main single off this album was "Ya'll Want a Single."

While the facts displayed in this video are from 2003, many of them still apply. The video is eye opening, ifnormative, and one of my personal fav's! :) Not to mention that it CLEARLY applies to the music industries conforming to formats, conglomerations and so on...

I suggest watching the video with the music muted, for as pathetic as it seems, the music actually takes away from the video. (If you don't please excuse the vulgarity) Plus, you want to be able to give your attention to focusing on the video itself, and what is written in the text.... In another post I will include a fact sheet from the video.
