How Record Labels Manage Their Back Catalogue in the Digital Age

In just over a decade, digital streaming has transformed the music industry. Gone are the days when physical album sales or even digital downloads ruled the charts. Today, platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube dominate how we consume music. According to data from the World Economic Forum, streaming accounts for more than 65% of global music revenues, making it the single most powerful force in the industry. This digital shift has redefined not only how new music is released and promoted, but also how older music—known as the back catalogue—is managed and monetized.

Top 5 Tracks in Stranger Things Season 5 That Everyone Is Listening To

Out of nowhere, old tunes are climbing the charts again. A fresh season of a popular show gave them a second life. Think of how Pusoy Dos holds attention – not by flash, but by feel. These songs work much the same way. Context comes from scenes and stories on screen. Yet what really sticks isn’t the plot—it’s the sound. Decades-old songs now pulse through headphones worldwide. Not because they’re trendy, but because they still matter. A few tracks stand out – ‘Upside Down’ by Diana Ross, then ABBA’s ‘Fernando’, which caught fire too. Think of The Chordettes’ ‘Mr. Sandman’, a quiet hit that kept growing. Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ showed up different, deep, and lasting. David Bowie closed strong with ‘Heroes’, ringing loud through time.
