Yana music

Research has consistently shown that the synchronization of music with repetitive exercise provides enhanced physical performance, helping people both work out for longer and train more efficiently. In one study, participants who cycled in time to music found that they required 7 percent less oxygen compared to cycling with background (asynchronous) music. In other words, music provides temporal cues that have the potential to make more efficient use of physical energy.

This is probably the most shocking music fact on this list – but yes, Mozart managed to beat Beyoncé in record sales in 2016.

So, why did a 18th century composer sell more CDs than Grammy-award-winning pop stars?

You can ‘blame’ the Universal Music Group – in October 2016, they released a box set commemorating the 225th anniversary of Mozart’s death.

Each set contained 200 discs, so it was rather easy to sell a huge amount of discs in a short period of time.

Either way, this is probably a surprising musical fact for many people.

And we’re actually glad Mozart had his moment in 2016.

Hell yeah! Ain't no doubt at all! 🤟🎸💙

So, how'd an 18th-century composer sell more than pop music's greatest names? Well, in October 2016, the Universal Music Group released a box set commemorating the 225th anniversary of Mozart's death. Each disc included in the box set counted as one CD sold, and each set contained 200 discs. Throw in the proliferation of streaming—which has significantly dampened CD sales—and voila. Plus, the box set itself flew off shelves: As of this writing, there are only four remaining on Amazon ($686).

One study, conducted by a University of Sydney professor, titled "Stairway to H*ll: Life and Death in the Pop Music Industry," examined the deaths of artists which took place between 1950 and June 2014. The study specifically looked at longevity and the proportion of suicides, homicides, and accidental deaths. Longevity was determined by calculating the average age of death for each musician by s*x and decade of their death. These averages were then compared with averages by s*x and decade for the general U.S. population. The results? Musicians' lifespans are 25 years shorter.
