Or if you wanted to be a DJ that would be just as hard, if you wanted to be a as musician that would be very competitive it would be the most competitive one because some many people want to get into this industry and make them self’s famous and have a taste of the fame and glamour.

Facts and figures about the Music Industry:
Starting with Facts:
In the early 20th century, the recording of sound began to function as a disruptive technology in music markets. The phonograph, invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, industry grew greatly in importance, and the "record industry" eventually replaced the sheet music publishers as the industry's largest force. A multitude of record labels came and went, but a handful of label corporations prospered for decades. By the end of the 1980s, the "Big 6" — EMI, CBS, BMG, PolyGram, WEA and MCA — dominated the industry. Sony bought CBS Records in 1987 and changed its name to Sony Music in 1991. In mid-1998, PolyGram merged into Universal Music Group (formerly MCA), dropping the leaders down to a "Big 5". (They became the "Big 4" in 2004 when BMG merged into Sony.)

Music Production
Sony is the sole shareholder of major label distributor Sony Music. The subsidy was assembled from Sony's acquisition of Columbia Music from CBS in the 1980s as well as a merger with BMG music in 2004. Again i think it was Wikipedia i got this from but i cannot not be sure as i did it on my Home Laptop.
Hollywood Records are owned by the Disney Corporation the Disney Corporation is a successful Company.
WMG is the only one of the big four record companies that cannot trace its ancestry to either the Columbia Phonograph Company or Berliner Gramophone. WMG's roots date back to the founding of Warner Bros. Records as a division of the Warner Bros. movie studio in 1958, in reaction to one of its contracted actors, Tab Hunter, scoring a hit for Dot Records, a division of Paramount Pictures. In 1963, Warner Bros. purchased Reprise Records, founded by Frank Sinatra three years earlier so that he could have more creative control over his recordings. I got some of this from Wikipedia but some of I put into my own words and I cannot get the link to this because I did it on my laptop at home.
