Sung Cho is the CEO of Chartmetric, a remarkable B2B SaaS company that collects and analyzes music data from streaming platforms and social media to predict the future of the music industry. Through its services, Chartmetric contributes to the growth of the music industry and has achieved an impressive annual subscription revenue of $8.5MM. Before founding Chartmetric, Sung was a founding member of Gamevil, one of South Korea's leading game companies. He jumped into the Korean game industry before it was fully established and led the company's growth alongside the industry's development. However, not content with just the company's success, Sung aimed to fulfill his dream of building a career and starting a business in Silicon Valley. Approaching his 30s, he left Gamevil and started anew as an intern at Sun Microsystems in Silicon Valley. While working at Sun Microsystems, the company was acquired by Oracle, naturally transitioning his career to Oracle. Yet, he chose to step out of his comfort zone for another challenge. After leaving Oracle, Sung faced numerous challenges before finally starting Chartmetric in 2015. The company has since been steadily growing, as evidenced by its increasing ARR and other metrics. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/getu-chandler/support

Baz Luhrmann's hit box office hit biopic Elvis has spurred new interest in the music of The King. Elvis Presley's streaming subscribers has grown by two million listeners on Spotify since the film's release according to ChartMetric, and if you're hearing a lot more “Hound Dog” these days, it might be partially due to the success of Doja Cat's hit song “Vegas,” which updates – and interpolates – the song for contemporary listeners.  Doja Cat's version samples from the original 1953 “Hound Dog,” sung by Big Mama Thornton and written by acclaimed songwriter team Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (whose credits also include Presley's “Jailhouse Rock” and Ben E. King's “Stand By Me”). The original is a sauntering blues song with a raunchy tale about a two timing man; Presley, who is frequently said to have stolen the song from Thorton, instead sings a tepid lyric about an actual dog, and radically changes the groove.  But in an interview with Rolling Stone, Stoller says Presley didn't steal the song at all. Rather, he adapted one of many covers of the song, specifically the version performed by the Las Vegas lounge act Freddie Bell and the Bellboys. Their “Hound Dog” borrows its upbeat rhythm from a song responding to the original “Hound Dog,” titled “Bear Cat.” It's a similar rhythm to the one we hear on the contemporary Doja Cat version, “Vegas,” which heavily features samples of Thornton's original vocals: listening closely reveals a song that synthesizes a complicated music history by uniting the best parts of the many versions of “Hound Dog.”  Listen to the latest episode of Switched On Pop and uncover the long legacy of “Hound Dog.” Songs Discussed Big Mama Thorton - Hound Dog Elvis - Hound Dog Doja Cat - Vegas Esther Phillips - Hound Dog Jack Turner - Hound Dog Rufus Thomas - Bear Cat Freddie Bell and the Bellboys T.L.C. - No Scrubs Sporty Thievz - No Pigeons  W.C.

What does empathetic marketing even look like in today's digital age, where everything seems to be done over email or social media? And what are some principles to help marketers embrace and turn it into action? Today's guest, social media marketer Pat Timmons, wrote a great book called Feel Something: How to Embrace Empathy and Build Trust with Your Audience. As a frontline marketer, Pat has learned a lot about how to leverage social media to create strong customer relationships.Today we talk about what empathy marketing is and some of the principles highlighted in the book.

Listen to what your customers are saying, and how they are saying it, and utilize that in your own posts. You can't just stop once you get the money. They've made a commitment to you, now you need to continue your commitment to them. "The only way you can really market to someone that will make them feel something is to feel what they're feeling.

En cualquier negocio, el que no conoce sus números, trabaja a ciegas. Y la música no es la excepción. Nadie puede darse el lujo de lanzar música y videos y limitarse a revisar el conteo de streams, likes o descargas. Quien no monitorear y analiza de cerca sus números diariamente y desde varios ángulos, no tendrá la visibilidad requerida para tomar decisiones estratégicas en sus proyectos, campañas y acciones a tomar. Hoy vamos a hablar de las herramientas de análisis, estadísticas y monitoreo para música digital. Es un rango super amplio en el que caben varias categorías que ya iremos revisando en programas por separado, pero hoy nos concentraremos en las herramientas de análisis de música enfocadas a usuario particular, es decir, usuarios individuales o compañías pequeñas. Las herramientas o servicios de los que hablaremos hoy son servicios que consolidan los datos de todas o casi todas las plataformas de música digital y video, y tienen distintos enfoques respecto a cómo presentan la información, qué interpretación o análisis de datos proveen, qué información adicional ofrecen (como redes sociales), etc. Las 5 herramientas incluidas en este programa son, en orden de costo: ForTunes, SpotonTrack, Songstats, Soundcharts y Charmetric.

On her new album, Cuz I Love You, Lizzo shows off her genre bending musicality. We speak with X Ambassadors lead singer, Sam Harris, who helped co-write three songs on the album, including its eponymous track. We discuss how Lizzo's songs glide across sixties soul, seventies rock rock, eighties new wave, and nineties hip-hop. But we find that her music is much more than a history lesson in genre. Lizzo's writes vulnerable and courageous lyrics about self love, body positivity, female empowerment, and black identity. Rather than craft a singular sound for her album, Lizzo utilizes the genre that best fits the message of any given song. Her subversion of genre to the mood of her lyric matches changes in music consumption. According to Chartmetric, more people than ever are listening across genres to context based playlists. Does this mean genre no longer matters? Nate and Charlie try to find out with the help of Lizzo's genre busting music.
