Welcome to the latest Music Business Worldwide podcast supported by Voly Music.

On this 'cast, MBW founder Tim Ingham is joined by Lisa Yang, Managing Director of Media & Internet at Goldman Sachs’ Global Investment Research.

Yang keeps a very close eye on the music business – and is the lead analyst on Goldman’s hugely influential ‘Music In The Air’ paper, a new and updated version of which is released each year.

The latest iteration of ‘Music In The Air’ arrived in June 2023, and contained amongst its 72 pages financial and data analysis of all corners of the music business. 

It also contained headline forecasts, including that the global recorded music industry will be generating over $50 billion dollars by 2030, from some 1.2 billion paying streaming subscribers worldwide.

On this podcast we ask Lisa about her team’s latest forecasts in 'Music In The Air', while picking on her brains on other conclusions from the report, and asking more generally about how the global music business will change in the decade ahead of us….
