Reflecting the continued proliferation of popular music studies, the new music industry in a digital age, and the emergence of new stars, this new edition has been reorganized and extensively updated throughout, making for a more coherent and sequenced coverage of the field. These updates include:
- two new chapters entitled ‘The Real Thing’: Authenticity, covers and the canon and ‘Time Will Pass You By’: Histories and popular memory
- new case studies on artists including The Rolling Stones, Lorde, One Direction and Taylor Swift
- further examples of musical texts, genres, and performers throughout including additional coverage of Electronic Dance Music
- expanded coverage on the importance of the back catalogue and the box set; reality television and the music biopic
- greater attention to the role and impact of the internet and digital developments in relation to production, dissemination, mediation and consumption; including the role of social network sites and streaming services
- each chapter now has its own set of expanded references to facilitate further investigation.
Additional resources for students and teachers can also be found on the companion website (www.routledge.com/cw/shuker), which includes additional case studies, links to relevant websites and a discography of popular music metagenres.
