Vocabulary: Commerce Ex.1 page 51 Before iPods, before CDs, and before cassettes, music was recorded on metal cylinders and then on discs. Very few people listened to discs at home until a cheap machine called a “gramophone” was produced. In 1902, an opera singer called Enrico Caruso recorded the first million-selling record. He was paid 100€ for ten songs. These days, pop stars can make big money and they are managed by professionals. The industry awards a gold disc to an artist if 500.000 copies of a song or album are sold. A platinum disc is awarded for sales of one million, and a diamond award is given for ten million sales.

Records and cassettes started to disappear from shops when CDs were invented in 1982. In the near future, normal CDs will be replaced by DVD-A (DVD audio). Sometimes a song is banned by radio or TV stations if they think that the lyrics are offensive. More and more songs are bought online, and approximately twenty billion songs are downloaded illegally from the internet every year. Some songs are released online before they’re released CD. Songs are advertised with videos on websites like MySpace and YouTube. Now digital music players like the iPod are very common. Also, in the future, mobile phones will be used more to download an play music.
