AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Spotify & AI/tech shakeups: Spotify is phasing out username logins and moving users to email-based sign-in (with third-party options), while also rolling out more direct video support for artists—plus a separate Singapore report says AI is squeezing music studio budgets as clients demand faster, cheaper AI-generated content. Awards & rules: The Grammys announced major 2027 changes, including five new categories and revised Best New Artist/album eligibility rules. Global artist spotlights: Malian star Fatoumata Diawara is named Spotify’s EQUAL Africa artist for June. Live & touring: Harry Styles brings an orchestral show to London’s Royal Festival Hall; K-pop acts ENHYPEN (rumored August comeback) and ILLIT (Japan festival run) keep momentum, while UNIS readies its first Japanese mini album. Music culture moments: World Music Day lands June 21 with celebrations in Hyderabad. Industry policy: Turkey’s tourism sector will need music license certificates for shared areas. Community & access: An inclusive UK school orchestra uses assistive tech to help students make music for the first time.
