The Rise of 360 Deals in the Music Industry
Landslide (2011)
  • Daniel J Gervais, Vanderbilt University
Abstract

360 deals can give record companies access to revenue from movie contracts, merchandise sales, and other sources “all around” the artist. They reflect a transition from an industry model focused on delivery of goods (compact discs or even iTunes tracks) to one in which music is increasingly a service generating revenues from multiple activities bundled with phone, Internet, or cable access. The authors explore the history, contents, benefits, and future of 360 deals.
