The music industry has undergone a massive transformation with the rise of streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. Streaming has reshaped how music is consumed, discovered, and shared. Personalized playlists, algorithm-driven recommendations, and the shift from owning to accessing music have redefined the listening experience for millions.

While streaming has democratized music by making it globally accessible, it has also created challenges. Many artists face lower earnings per stream compared to traditional album sales.
