A comprehensive study of the Polish music market

In the report, we assess the economic importance of the music market in Poland in 2016-2018. For this purpose, we analysed the available financial data and downloaded online content using automated tools, which allowed us to determine the popularity of musicians in Poland. This is the first systematic study of the most important elements of the music market, in which we used innovative methods of analysis, including previously unpublished financial data and viewers statistics from the largest internet platforms, radio and television.
