Record labels are finally accepting that brands - and fans - can benefit hugely from music by numbers.
The art of music seems a long way removed from the science of data. Mark Jones, head of the independent Wall of Sound label, typifies the industry’s attitude to data: “Music has always been organic for me. The numbers thing isn’t something I do.”
