Why Mainstream Genres Have Clearer Career Paths
The Artist Music Network focuses on five core genres that dominate the U.S. music business: Pop, Hip Hop/R&B, Country, Rock, and Singer-Songwriter. These aren’t arbitrary categories—they represent the genres with the most established business infrastructure and revenue potential.
These five genres account for the majority of music consumption and revenue in the United States, with dedicated radio formats, venue circuits, streaming playlist ecosystems, and recognized award categories from the Grammys, Country Music Awards, and other major institutions.
When you work within these genres, you benefit from:
- Established radio formats with clear submission and promotion pathways
- Genre-specific venue circuits where bookers actively seek new talent
- Major streaming platforms with dedicated playlist editorial teams
- Industry recognition through Grammy categories and genre-specific awards
- Larger fan bases and higher consumption rates compared to niche genres
- Clear examples of artists who have successfully advanced from Level 1 to Level 2 and beyond
This doesn’t mean other genres can’t succeed—but mainstream genres offer more documented career pathways, larger revenue potential, and more networking opportunities with established professionals.
