Monday’s Musings . . .

TOP DIGITAL STATS:  AdWeek is out with another round of the Top Digital Stats from the past week in the attached link.  This edition has a flurry of year end activity, including 6.) Bloomberg’s launch of a new around the clock Twitter news feed called TicToc, and 7.) T-Mobile’s purchase of an OTT network service called Layer3.  There are also plenty of scale glory stats to choose from, including 1.) 1 trillion photos being taken on Snapchat this year, 5.) 17B videos being shared on FB this year, and 4.) 38M Facebook followers for the WWE – that’s more following professional wrestling than the NFL or NBA, proving once again that Hulkamania is still as strong as ever!  Perhaps the most notable stat this week is 8.) with the graph below comparing the QoQ revenue growth of Google, FB, the Asian Techs, and everybody else.  Can anyone say rich getting richer?

CRB SPIKES SATELLITE’S STREAMING RATE:  On Friday the CRB announced the new performance royalty rate package for satellite distribution of music, as reported in the attached RAIN link.  Satellite really only has one player (Sirius XM), so this ruling primarily impacts them.  Unlike Streamers who are charged fixed royalties on a per song played basis, Satellite pays a variable % of overall gross revenue which is then subdivided among the artists based on whose songs were played.  Satellite currently pays 11% of gross rev, but per the new CRB ruling that number will jump to 15.5% from 2018 through 2022.  That’s a 40% increase which jolted Sirius’s stock on Friday.  When you consider the Streamers are paying 40%-70% of gross revenues in performance royalties, 15.5% doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.  However it’s still a very large jump to absorb all at once.

TOP 10 GOOGLE SEARCHES OF 2017:  Finally today, TechCrunch is out with a tally of the Top 10 Google searches from 2017 in the attached link.  Because it’s TechCrunch they’ve highlighted the top tech-related searches on the right side of the image below.  8 of the 10 top tech searches were for smartphones/watches and the remaining two were for gaming devices.  For me the top 10 overall US searches on the left side is more interesting because it’s a direct reflection of our cultural zeitgeist.  Unfortunately two hurricanes made the list, including Irma at #1.  There was also interest in two sporting mega-events, the passing of a rock icon, the downfall of a Today show anchor for sexual misconduct.  But if you’re looking for a statement about this year through our Google searches consider this – the ever-obnoxious fidget spinner made the list at #10, but nothing about politics, including President Trump’s inauguration in January, made the top 10.  The fact that we’d rather be fidget spinning tells you how fed up we all are with the state of politics in our country.

Have a great Monday guys!
