Nowadays, teenagers like to watch music videos online. This is now more popular than listening
to the radio. Some videos can quickly become extremely popular internationally and reach one
billion views. Some music hits get more than 10 million views in less than 20 minutes.

Downloading music is a popular choice for youngsters. People in many countries prefer
downloading singles rather than albums. This only costs a small amount of money. Using file-
sharing websites to download music is often illegal but some people still continue to get their
music this way. Record companies and many musicians are very unhappy that people can listen
to their music without paying for it.
What are you and your friends listening to these days? Hip hop dance, rock, heavy metal, rap?
Music tastes are very varied amongst teenagers around the world. A shopping centre in the UK
recently discovered what kind of music some local teenagers don't like. This is what happened:
shoppers and shop owners complained to the police about teenagers behaving badly there. When
a new sound system started playing Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, the antisocial behaviour
stopped. The young people who caused problems had gone!
