Music Business Predictions for 2015 1.29.2015

2015 will bring big changes for the music world... we're excited about it! Last year, Forbes writer Zach O'Malley Greenberg made some great predictions -- 3 of which were correct! He's doing it again, and I must say, I agree with him.

1. Ed Sheerhan continues to rise in popularity and becomes the top selling male solo act in the world. Taylor Hanson backs it up, and so do I. Ed is an extremely talented songwriter, singer and has a unique sound we're all craving.

2. RIAA will change it's formula to include streaming for platinum albums. Why wouldn't we agree? The number one way we're listening to music is streaming... it's a no brainer!

3.Adele will release a new album and it will go platinum. I have missed her, personally. I hope this one is right! Adele has been gone for too long from the spotlight, we need great singers and acts like her to take back the stage!

4. Justin Bieber's behavior will finally catch up with him. Will his activities outside of the music start to put a dent in his finances? It may. There are other acts sweeping up the hearts of teenyboppers everywhere that aren't running a muck. We'll see Justin.. We'll see.
