Effect of Social media on music

When I posted the video Key & peele: death Metal on my face book, it had 1996 views already on You tube. I posted it under a simple description and checked the viewers' numbers the day after. It didn't have that many "Like" on my social media, and I don't know how many looked at it through my face book, but on You Tube it was increased to 11909 viewers. Wow, it is amazing.

We learned from our course the role of social media and technology on spreading the music throughout the history. Face book or other recent social medias can have a significant impact on music. People share and rate their favorite music, and this is a new way that we can hear new songs even before we hear it from TV or Radio.

I posted the video again, but this time I gave a little background information and more detailed description with some interesting words and waited to see the effect of different description. This time, I had more" Like"s and even some comments on my face book about it. I actually noticed the impact of a good description. This time when I checked it on YouTube, it had 23329 viewers. OMG!

I get this conclusion from my result that a social media can have a significant effect on spreading videos. For example, students or instructors can share important or interesting part of the Rock and Roll's history and inform their friends and followers. Rock band also can learn from this result to post their music on social medias and see the opinions and comments to get the right feedback which would be very beneficial for their improvement.
