Detta arbete syftar till att ge svar på några av de frågor man som artist kan ha inför en skivlansering. Arbetet är av samtidsskildrande art med en historisk tillbakablick till varför vi idag står där vi står när det handlar om skivindustri, lansering, ekonomisk vinst och exponering för musik. Stor vikt har lagts vid att hitta fakta kring artistens ekonomiska förutsättningar i en tid där de traditionella musikmedierna på marknaden har fått ge vika till förmån för nya. I mitt arbete har jag även intervjuat artister som idag står inför samma val som jag själv angående lansering och analyserat intervjuerna i förhållande till aktuella artiklar i ämnet. Av min undersökning kan jag bland annat dra slutsatserna att CD?skivan fortfarande har ett värde på marknaden, att man som artist bör göra något uppseendeväckande vid en lansering för att sticka ut ur mängden samt att det kan vara av vikt att ha en klar bild av sin tilltänkta målgrupp för att kunna skapa ett personligt band till sin publik..
