We have two types of artists in this industry

The ones who fight for their right to own their art, and the one's who sell it because they want money...

And both are perfectly fine. Yikes.

One could argue that Shakira is more well-known than Madonna, not just in LA, but WW.

She had many hits in the Netherlands. I liked her since Ojos Asi (didn't know anybody that had head of her) and at first didn't even notice it was the same girl when Whenever, wherever came out. 

Apart from the songs Dynamite mentioned La Tortura was also big here, Naughty Girl, Can't remember to forget you...

Who also sold their music catalogue?

Music business will have lesser longevive artists and more one hit wonders in the future. It will no longer be profitable, so a revamp of the business model is needed.

I mean music will never die lol so streaming is rising, ok? Ariana has 23+ billion Spotify streams... that alone, on Spotify no sales no other streams etc, is over $90M
