Black music has generated a staggering 80 per cent of the UK’s recorded music revenue over the past three decades, new figures have revealed. This significant contribution amounts to £24.5 billion out of a total £30 billion in the recorded music market.
A comprehensive report by industry body UK Music, titled "Black Music Means Business: Driving Economic Growth In The UK", delved into the cultural and commercial impact of black music. The study defined black music as genres rooted in the culture, beliefs, and traditions of Black people and the African diaspora.
