This softening in its rate of decline, compared to a 20 per cent drop in 2012 (and a 7.9 per cent decrease in 2014)</b>, underlines the format&#8217;s resilience and suggests that it may yet have a viable future for some years to come as part of a multi-channel consumer landscape alongside vinyl, streaming and downloads.</p>
<p>Top 5 Selling Albums:<br />
25 Adele 2,604,850<br />
X Ed Sheeran 1,001,845<br />
In The Lonely Hour Sam Smith 925,147<br />

<p>				Did you know less than 1% of the world&#8217;s population are currently paying for on-demand music streaming services?</p>
<p>The wider industry continues to hope that the likes of Spotify and Apple Music will provide salvation &#8211; and early signs from the Nordics and other territories certainly provide reason for hope.</p>
<p>But why are the vast majority of people refusing to put their hand in their pocket for &#8216;all the music in the world&#8217;?</p>
<p>New research out of the US from Nielsen Music brings us closer to the answer.</p>
<p>The research company has conducted what it calls &#8216;a comprehensive, in-depth study of consumer interaction with music in the United States&#8217; for its Nielsen Music 360 Report &#8211; analysing the responses of more than 3,300 US music fans.</p>
<p>The Report covers a range of topics and provides reason to be cheerful: apparently 75% of US consumers now listen to music online in a typical week, for example.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also a shot in the arm for radio.</p>
<p><b>According to Nielsen&#8217;s respondents, 61% of people say they discover new music on the wireless today, which has actually increased from the 57% who agreed in 2014.</b></p>
<p>Meanwhile, streaming services, including YouTube, inform 27% of people about new music.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s less than a third of radio&#8217;s influence, but also behind the recommendations of friends and family (45%) and movies / movie soundtracks (31%).</p>

<p>				Nielsen then directly addresses the elephant in the room: why aren&#8217;t more people paying a $  9.99 subscription price for streaming?</p>
<p>The &#8216;under 1%&#8217; stat that started this article, by the way, comes from the fact that out of 7 billion people in the world, just 41m coughed up for an on-demand music streaming subscription last year, according to the IFPI &#8211; 0.58% of the world&#8217;s populace.</p>
<p><b>That&#8217;s lower than the total number of people paying for a Netflix subscription around the world every month.</b></p>
<p>Even just in the US, we can deduce that music streaming isn&#8217;t exactly flying just yet.</p>
<p>According to the IFPI, paid-for music streaming services accrued $  494.7m in the US in 2014. Across a population of 319m people, that worked out at an average of just $  1.55 per person.</p>
<p>Another way to slice those figures: $  494.7m equates to around 4.1m X $  120-per-year subscriptions.</p>

<p>Side shows rather than an all-day and night festival became their preferred haunt, leaving the cops-and-dogs greeting party and marauding hordes of overexcited young people to well, the young people. As it should be.</p>

<p>The national festival calendar has undergone a drastic downsize in recent years with several of the enduring events calling it a day and canny promoters, who also happen to be of a certain age, are creating smaller events tailored for the music fan who might be sporting some salt and pepper at the temples.</p>

<p>The reboot of the boutique festival focuses on the experiential elements which will appeal to an older audience. The location has to be somewhere different with a lot of greenery. The food and beverage offerings must be more than a bucket of chips, slice of pizza and mid-strength beer. Capacity should be comfortable and queues minimal. And you shouldn&#8217;t need four wheel drive capabilities on the pram.</p>
<p>Fairgrounds Festival takes the family-friendly element further than anything else on offer on this year&#8217;s weekend calendar.</p>
<p>The inaugural event will be held at the historic Berry Showgrounds on the NSW South Coast with an eclectic line-up which includes headliner Father John Misty, C.W. Stoneking, Jessica Pratt, Mercury Rev, RATATAT, Royal Headache and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.</p>
<p>Curated by <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://handsometours.com/">Handsome Tours</a> after a two-year hunt for the right location, Fairgrounds is tailor made for the older music fan.</p>

<p>There is no VIP area because everyone gets the VIP treatment. If you want to bring a rug or deckchair you can; just don&#8217;t expect to plant them in the moshpit because there will be moshing.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no festival in Australia like this. It is for a demographic that is starved of an outdoor music experience,&#8221; promoter Colin Daniels says.</p>
<p>&#8220;The primary motivation behind this is us, the festival we want to go to with our friends instead of being surrounded by drunk 18-year-olds with their shirts off. You will be treated like an adult.&#8221;</p>
<p>Daniels and his mates, like most humans of a certain age, do not want to queue for the bars or the toilets, with or without their kids.</p>
<p>In fact, they may want to enjoy a set or two without their vintage rock T-shirt wearing offspring.</p>
<p>So the little ones will be catered for with a festival inside the festival.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will have everything from a planetarium and a hay bale maze and there will be childcare so if you want to drop off your little ones to go see Royal Headache, you can,&#8221; Daniels says.</p>
<p>&#8220;We want them to enjoy their own festival experience.&#8221;</p>
<p>And for the adults who want a bit of playtime which isn&#8217;t related to music, you will be able to play boules, badminton, croquet and Twister or compete in the sack and egg and spoon races.</p>

<p><strong></p>
<p>				NATALIE Imbruglia can&#8217;t remember the last song she shared with a boyfriend or used to nurse a broken heart.</p>
<p>				</strong></p>
</p></div>
<p>&#8220;I have been single for so long, sweetheart, I can&#8217;t even remember. I am serious,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>And then she laughs.</p>
<p>An examination of the tracklisting of Imbruglia&#8217;s selection of covers written and recorded by men on her new album <i>Male</i> did make me wonder if any of them were ever &#8220;our songs&#8221;, the ones that soundtrack a love affair.</p>
<p>Or the songs you play over and over again after a breakup.</p>
<p>There are the happy songs &#8212; The Cure&#8217;s celebration of falling in love<i> (Friday, I&#8217;m In Love) </i>alongside The Who&#8217;s <i>Let My Love Open The Door.</i></p>
<p>And the sad songs including <i>I Will Follow You Into The Dark</i> &#8211; a song whose beauty provoked audible sobs during Death Cab For Cutie&#8217;s recent tour &#8211; and Neil Young&#8217;s <i>Only Love Will Break Your Heart.</i></p>
<p>But if you are searching for odes or arrows directed at her former husband Daniel Johns or other past lovers, you will not find them.</p>

				</p>
</p></div>
</p></div>
</div>
<p>&#8220;I am a romantic. Like any other girl, I dream about finding love or mourning over love lost, so I can draw from that to connect with a song,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>&#8220;Because I am in the public eye, people are always looking to pin you down to say your music is about one thing or another.</p>
<p>&#8220;But this is my album and these are songs for me. I don&#8217;t even remember what you are talking about.&#8221;</p>
<p>In fact, Imbruglia points out her interpretations of these songs are as much the work of Imbruglia the actor as they are Imbruglia the singer.</p>
<p>It was acting she decided to focus on when she effectively quit the music business half a decade ago.</p>
<p>Her record label had been sold in the merger between Sony and BMG and most of the people she had worked with left or were made redundant. Her fourth album <i>Come To Life</i> fell through the cracks because the executives who inherited her in the record label machinations wanted to change it.</p>
<p>&#8220;In trying to please all these people, I found myself in a place where I didn&#8217;t feel like myself. I got fed up because all I wanted was an audience and to stand in front of a mic and sing,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t feel inspired, I was frustrated so I stopped. It was the best thing I could have done.&#8221;</p>
<p>Imbruglia moved to Los Angeles to study for two years with respected acting coach Ivana Chubbuck and made her stage debut in a production of Alan Ayckbourn&#8217;s <i>Things We Do For Love.</i></p>
<p>She had no desire to make another record.</p>

<p>&#8220;If something is not making you happy, stop doing it. I know I was lucky I could afford to do that but that was not wasted time. I honed my acting, I made my stage debut and the study I did helps with songwriting and singing and being able to deliver these songs,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>As well as reconnecting with emotions she claims to have become diluted due to a lack of romantic relationships, acting appears to have unlocked fresh, strong tones in her voice.</p>
<p>The &#8220;character&#8221; who sings the dramatic reinvention of the Daft Punk and Julian Casablancas song <i>Instant Crush</i> is vastly different to the one whose voice gives Tom Petty&#8217;s <i>The Waiting </i>a breathy sweetness.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am an emotional being and I can go to those places when delivering a song. That could be the actress in me too,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sometimes it&#8217;s true that the song is a reflection of what&#8217;s going on in my life but I have been able to write songs that are so dark when blissfully happy and in a relationship.</p>
<p>&#8220;And artists want to go there. Part of what we do is wallow in those moods.&#8221;</p>

<p>She is a very convincing actor in the video to <i>Instant Crush </i>in which she plays a Stepford wife to a cold, distant husband.</p>
<p>There is an uncanny similarity in her performance to that in the video of <i>Torn</i>, the debut single which catapulted her from <i>Neighbours</i> star to global chart-topper.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so funny you picked up on that and I agree with you but I didn&#8217;t plan it,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t until I saw the rushes that I thought the way I look off camera and I am moving recalls how I am in <i>Torn</i>. I can&#8217;t stand still when I sing,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>Perhaps the brightest song on an album of tracks penned and previously recorded by men is <i>The Summer,</i> a Josh Pyke song.</p>
<p>That suggestion came from her singer and songwriter sister Laura.</p>

<p>&#8220;I was talking to Laura about the shortlist I was looking at covering and she asked if I had thought of doing a Josh Pyke song. I love that guy so I dived into all his music and chose that song because for me it imbues that Australian vibe,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s such a storyteller, he creates these beautiful little worlds.</p>
<p>&#8220;But I have to tell you, he also writes song that are very difficult to sing because he barely takes a breath. I literally had to plan where I was going to breathe.&#8221;</p>
