Hi there!
What kind of music are young people buying these days?
A report in The Guardian shows that pop is still the top: just over 50% prefer normal pop songs.
Number two on the list is heavy metal and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll. Fans make up 22% of album-buyers. For you in the 22%, I am playing some Metallica later in the programme.
Dance fans are down at 15%. Not bad. Young classical music buyers are only 5% of the age-group. I'm sorry, Mr Mozart! Fans of folk songs are just 2%. But right at the bottom is jazz. Less than 1% of young people buy jazz tapes and CDs. Tut, tut, I don't know. What's wrong with kids these days? I love jazz myself...
