How music videos have increased the income for the record company (find an example of artiest who owns the recored label and therefore benefits directly.)   

music video have increased the income for the recored company by getting more people intrested in the artiest and recored label to create more revenue for the artiest and for new projects.There are many recored company out there in 20011Nielsen SoundScan report and noted that the "big four" controlled about 88% of the market:
  • Universal Music Group (USA based) — 29.85%
  • Sony Music Entertainment (USA based) — 29.29%
  • Warner Music Group (USA based) — 19.13%
  • Independent labels — 12.11%
  • EMI Group — 9.62%


This shows that most of the the music we consumed are by the same music company giving us the same stuff. As the same company influence the music company and 
artiest we listen to compares to back in the 90s when there was six 

  • Universal Music Group 
  • Sony Music Entertainment 
  • Warner Music Group 
  • Independent labels 
  • EMI Group
  • BMG
  • polygram

These four arnt the only recored label out there are some independent recored company owned by the artiest themselves where all the revenue is directly used to benefit the artiest best interest some of these artiest include  

  • Nick Jonas And Demi Lovato - Safehouse Records 
  • Jay-Z - Roc Nation
  • Disclosure - Method Records
  •  Ed Sheeran - Gingerbread
  • Justin Timberlake - Tennman Records
  • Madonna - Maverick
  • Kanye West - GOOD Music
  • Katy Perry - Metamorphosis Music
How music videos are use to promote

Music videos are used to promote entertain,promote artists and promote brands. But it's mainly to promote the track. A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes.

music videos are used to promote a particular song by displaying what the song is for instance if you here a particular song on youtube and the individual liked it they would be more likely to buy the album or song which would create more revenue on top it allows the artiest to get more exposure form people on the platform and get more view which will lead to more revenue.

music videos can be used to promote an album the first way of promoting an albulm is if  You can generate some buzz early by having the album available ready for pre-order, and it allows you to accept orders as soon as you start promoting the release.
The pre-order phase allows you to target fans who missed out on the crowdfunding of your album, but still want to be the first in line to get a copy.

An example of synergy in the music sector is when two different products are released at the same time in order to attempt to boost sales of both products. This works as big companies are able to produce linked products over a variety of media which work together to promote each other to create a mutually beneficial relationship. 

An example of a synergy in the music sector would be sam smith writing on the wall which is featured in James bound
