Abstract
The distribution and dissemination of music has evolved considerably in recent years. Traditional channels primarily comprised the artist and the record company, with the artist producing the music and the record company facilitating its distribution and sale. This chapter explores the evolving role of social commerce in music and models in music distribution and promotion. This chapter further discusses social media platforms that distribute music and their role in engaging and developing a relationship with consumers.
