We hear so much about Lady Gaga causing an online sensation that nobody would be blamed for believing the Internet has shifted everything in ways that clearly benefit musicians.

I know it is by no means a small infographic, but going through it is well worth the time.  And if you have even more time to spare you should check out the original spreadsheet at the end of this shortened URL.
