Comments on: the Disney Channel plays more music than MTV and VH1 combined… http://www.kingsofar.com/2007/08/13/the-disney-channel-plays-more-music-than-mtv-and-vh1-combined/ Fri, 05 Dec 2008 08:12:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: larry anderson http://www.kingsofar.com/2007/08/13/the-disney-channel-plays-more-music-than-mtv-and-vh1-combined/#comment-67907 larry anderson Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:41:46 +0000 http://www.kingsofar.com/2007/08/13/the-disney-channel-plays-more-music-than-mtv-and-vh1-combined/#comment-67907 this morning was watching CBS news and saw the segment on High School Musical.this has made a bunch of overnight stars out of kids. if we have learned anything on KOAR that labels are in buisness to make money. and will sign what sells. if Hanna Montana can sell 3M. look at what labels have signed in the past. girl groups,boy groups, what ever trend that gets the attention is were a label is going. this should last about the next 3 to 5 years. i didn't think this decade would go out without some type of trend. this morning was watching CBS news and saw the segment on High School Musical.this has made a bunch of overnight stars out of kids. if we have learned anything on KOAR that labels are in buisness to make money. and will sign what sells. if Hanna Montana can sell 3M. look at what labels have signed in the past. girl groups,boy groups, what ever trend that gets the attention is were a label is going. this should last about the next 3 to 5 years. i didn’t think this decade would go out without some type of trend.

This is a short-term trend. As a record label, you can't market much music to little kids. The Disney Channel business plan works because the music isn't directly in their faces. It's a part of the programs they're watching. A major record label shouldn't sign a group like the Cheetah girls because it won't work on radio. Tween-pop groups go nowhere unless they're heavily promoted to the right demographic. Unless you can get it on the Disney Channel, major-labels shouldn't sign more bubblegum-pop. The only music MTV plays is 1-minute segments of songs on TRL. VH1 is no better. They aren't there to sell music, they're there for the ratings. The Disney Channel is associated with a record label, so obviously they'll promote all of the music they can. But what’s going to happen when the tweens turn into teens? This is a short-term trend.
