The latest question submitted to Musicpowers.com

 "What is a 360 Deal?"

Answer:

A 360 deal basically gives the label's talent a contract that ties in more than just selling music CDs and downloads. Since some fans don't want to buy music...and many times download it for free, the labels want a deal that will include making revenue from concerts, publishing and merchandise.

Record labels invest an enormous amount of money into artists, and lately that investment has not been paying off. 2008 year-end sales figures just released by The Nielsen Co. show total album sales, including album equivalents made up of single digital tracks, fell to 428.4 million units, down 8.5 percent from 500.5 million in 2007. Physical album sales fell 20 percent to 362.6 million from 450.5 million units. Thus, the old way of artists giving up 85% of their album shares, but still profiting from their tours, their merchandising and their publishing; has now become the "360-Deal" or the "Multi-Rights Deal".

Note: Live Nation (reported) offered $150,000,000 for a ten-year deal with Jay-Z.
