ABOUT THE CATALOG:
This offering contains a varied mix of genres from American singer-songwriter, to K-Pop, to classic R&B.
The top track is the 2016 release “I’m Blessed” by R&B legend and 13x Grammy-nominee Charlie Wilson featuring hip-hop superstar T.I., which brought in over 46% of the last 12 months earnings.
NCT 127’s “Good Thing” follows, bringing in 16% of catalog earnings over the last year. The song is off of the band’s second EP, Limitless, which reached No. 1 on both the Gaon Album and the Billboard World Albums charts.
Notably, the oldest of the top-5 earning songs in the catalog, “Christmas Time To Me,” by Jordin Sparks grew 27% year-over-year. Though it was included on the motion picture soundtrack to The Best Man Holiday, this track also continues to earn outside of use in the film on various commercial services.
Also worth noting is the 2016 release “Tonight” by singer-songwriter Matt Simons, which grew 35% over the last four quarters.
Finally, the catalog includes "Where Did the Beat Go," from Pink's Grammy-nominated, multi-Platinum album The Truth About Love (2012).
Key Drivers
Streaming Growth in 2019. According to the 2020 IFPI Global Music Report, streaming revenues increased 23% to $11.4 billion, accounting for 56% of all recorded music revenue worldwide. This collection offers investors the unique opportunity to invest in the overarching positive trend and impact of streaming services.
K-Pop. 2018 was the year of K-pop’s undeniable rise to a globally recognized industry, according to Forbes. Korean pop acts first began to go viral over a decade ago with the emergence of YouTube. As a result, the Korean music industry has grown in recognition and popularity in both Asia and around the globe. K-Pop now has an audience in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and South America, and other Asian markets, including Japan.
According to IFPI 2019 Music Listening Report, K-Pop is now ranked as the seventh most- popular genre globally. This is rather notable as the 2018 report published in October 2018 did not include K-pop in their top genre list, suggesting that the K-Pop revolution may have only just begun. You could benefit from the genre’s potential rising popularity with this catalog.
