RootMusic is also excited to publicly release the new 520 pixel version of BandPage through an automatic update that happened earlier in the week. The new design is slimmer, more streamlined, and fits perfectly within Facebook’s new application space. Through YouTube Tracks and YouTube’s existing partner program, musicians can collect ad revenue with each play of their songs on Facebook, changing the way artists look at the platform. Since launching 5 months ago, BandPage has become the fastest growing music application on Facebook by providing a sleek, intuitive, ad-free interface. Now, marquee artists like 50 Cent and Maroon 5 are using BandPage as well, partly due to the fact that labels can receive revenue from each song play on Facebook. Longtail artists can also utilize YouTube Tracks as a way to make additional income from their passion.
"For the past five months we have been going around the country asking musicians, managers, and labels what they are looking for, and that’s how we do it, its all about the music community," said J Sider, CEO of RootMusic. "By utilizing the Facebook network musicians now have a way to represent themselves where their fans are all the while getting paid for simply putting their music up for their fans to listen to.”
All artists who use BandPage are given a listn.to short link when they register, which allows them to send fans directly to their BandPage on Facebook. To see for yourself what a BandPage looks like, check out Grateful Dead’s new page which celebrates their rich heritage at listn.to/gratefuldead or Kanye West’s new video “Power” at listn.to/KanyeWest. From local artists to international acts with over 5 million fans, the music community is using the YouTube Tracks feature as a way of transforming Facebook into a viable solution for monetizing their music.
