Jay Frank discusses his book “Futurehit.DNA,” which provides a roadmap for creating a hit song and becoming a musical success in the digital age. He briefly covers his background in the music business; his inspiration for the book; album price structures; how to create a song that will maintain the listener’s attention; the role commercial hits play in sustaining artful music; the Internet’s hindrance on discovering new music; tempo; why people tend to develop sedentary musical tastes by age 25; successful selling models for the music business in the digital age; record deals; song durations and radio edits; and record companies’ aversion to risk.
