Country Music Goes Back to Work

Here’s a fact that you are already aware of; country music is good business, and country music fans represent a sizable and influential sector of the American music industry pie. Here’s a recent real-world example; in spite of the much ballyhooed James Comey interview Sunday night, the overall broadcast ratings for the ACM awards was dominant in overall, young demos, and adult demos for the night.

In terms of sizable income, successful stars can earn loads of cash, often times more singers and deeper riches for country performers. Would you believe Toby, Jason, Blake, Dolly, Luke, and Florida Georgia Line make mid-30s Millions of dollars? It’s typical for Garth and Kenny to be living in the $50 to $60 million neighborhood.

The most popular music in America is country music, the biggest gains in tourism for American cities due to country music are of course Nashville, Branson, Pigeon Forge Tennessee, Dollywood, and Memphis. Finally, did you know that two out of every 11 albums bought by music lovers is a country LP?
