In September 2012 the Universal Music Group completed the acquisition of EMI Music, reducing the number of worldwide music label conglomerates from four to three: Universal, Sony Music and Warner Music Group. This was another step in the concentration of media corporations that accelerated in the 1980s and 1990s and gradually became a global media oligopoly, a form in which a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers. This oligopoly now not only controls music (e.g. 85% of the U.S. recording music industry ) but also broadcasting, movies, publishing and advertising markets. This concentration of media ownership frequently raises concerns about the reduction of cultural diversity communicated through major media channels. Some argue that this concentration results in a shift away from serious news to infotainment and that it becomes harder for independent record companies to get airplay while large companies become more selective in the artists offered to radio stations . Even decades ago, Theodor Adorno warned about the eroding effects of the transition from autonomous works of art to profitable cultural products and the resulting impediment of the development of individual consciousness due to a strong cultural industry . Yet, despite all these concerns, the aforementioned acquisition of EMI clearly indicates that the process of media convergence has not been halted.
The study, which was funded by Spotify, examined the artists, songwriters and producers credited on songs that appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Chart since 2012.
