🚨Social Media Influences Music Discovery
Social media platforms are now resources for learning about culture in the digital age, not just places to connect. The most recent research from The Infinite Dial 2024, which is funded by SiriusXM Media, Cumulus Media, and Audacy, reveals how social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok can be used to find new music.
Most people in America who are 12 years of age or older use social media. Facebook is used by 63% of Americans, Instagram by 44%, and TikTok by 35% of Americans, in that order. However, influence is just as important to these platforms' power as usage.
48% of Americans (aged 12 and older) believe that staying current with music is "very" or "somewhat" important, according to The Infinite Dial 2024. Forty percent of this audience uses Instagram to research music. Facebook continues to be a strong presence, with 32% of Americans using it to find music, while TikTok lags behind at 36%.

Quiet On Set has blown the lid off some dark truths about child acting, and Joey Bragg's chat on That Was Wild hits right in the zeitgeist. As a former Disney star from "Liv and Maddie," Joey spills the beans on the intense pressures child stars face, including his shocking Disney audition to land his starting role. His sharp take on how the industry needs to shape up makes this episode a must for anyone tuned into the plight of child actors. Plus, Joey's not just all talk; his wild stories and a bizarre online run-in keep things hilarious from start to finish.
