What’s Happening in the Music Business

Spotify to Launch Priority Ticket Access for Superfans

Spotify has announced “Reserved,” a new system that will give loyal fans early access to concert tickets. The platform will identify these “superfans” based on metrics such as streams, shares, and overall activity within the app, allowing them to purchase up to two tickets before general sale.

The program will initially be available to Premium users over 18 in the United States and aims to fight ticket reselling while rewarding genuine fan loyalty. With this move, Spotify continues to strengthen its position in the live entertainment business, where it claims to have already generated more than $1.5 billion in ticket sales for artists.

Music royalty-backed financing: potential slowdown in 2026

The market for royalty-backed music bonds has grown significantly in recent years, driven by large-scale catalog acquisitions and the monetization of future income streams. Since 2020, approximately $12.9 billion in this type of debt has been issued.

However, forecasts suggest a potential 25% decline in new issuances in 2026, due to sector consolidation and reduced demand for refinancing after the recent boom. This points to a shift toward a more mature market with fewer new deals.

AI music vs sync revenue: disruption or controversy?

The American Dollar has filed a lawsuit against AI music platform Suno, claiming the service was trained on their catalogue without permission and has contributed to a sharp decline in their business.

According to the group, their sync licensing income has dropped by nearly 80% since Suno’s launch, raising concerns about how AI-generated music is impacting traditional revenue streams in film, TV, and advertising.

The case adds fuel to the debate around AI in music — not only around copyright and training data, but also whether AI tools are beginning to replace human-created music in commercial markets.

FOR ROCKSTARS…

Did you know…  At Rockstar Entertainment we work closely with AMW Aurora Music Works (UK) Ltd, a company backed by over 80 years of combined experience in the guitar industry and strong relationships across leading global brands. Together, we focus on bringing premium guitar brands and high-quality instruments to market.

In this section, we introduce two standout guitar makers that reflect this shared vision of craftsmanship and quality.

Cream T Custom is an award-winning British manufacturer with over 20 years of experience crafting high-end pickups and instruments, used by artists such as Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons, and Jeff Beck. The brand has since evolved into guitar building, including the Cream T Aurora, developed with Billy Gibbons, which blends classic inspirations into a versatile, high-performance instrument.

Stromberg Guitars, founded in Boston in 1906, is one of the most respected names in archtop guitar history. From its origins in fine acoustic craftsmanship to its evolution into archtop guitar innovation, the brand continues to combine heritage and modern design for today’s musicians.

That’s it for this month – but there’s so much more to come! Look forward to new artists, exclusive insights and more musical surprises from the Rockstar Publishing universe.
