These are hits from the entertainment world that marked 2019.

At the end of every year we're flooded with an avalanche of popular cultural signs. Best movies, best books, best albums.

Trying to determine the entire decade in the entertainment world is at best discouraging.

However, the AFP news agency tried to do it.

Early in 2010, Spotifoff's musical platform had less than a million subscribers, Netflix slightly more than 12 million. Transmission services aroused only curiosity.

Ten years later, Spotific has 248 million users and Netflix more than 158 million.

The world of television, film and music has changed with a new way of showing content consumption. Everything is available, always.

The career can be made on these platforms. And buying CDs? This is true in recent decades. YouTube has become a place to discover the generation of new talents.

The progress of Internet technology has enabled massive transmission, which was impossible ten years ago.

Seismic changes have also revolutionized the video game industry, so games like ʹFortnites have erupted thanks to transmission capabilities.

Users are increasingly abandoning TVs and their PCs and using smart phones or cables to listen to music, watch movies and read news.

Text television

TV was once a social event. The series like Seinfeld was looked at at at the same time and could talk about it the next day. If you've lived outside the United States, you have to wait.

The explosion of transmission and gradual shift away from traditional broadcast times would mean that television finally became global.

The tense forecast of the next episode of the most beloved series has disappeared, as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and the rest of the season everyone makes offers.

The competition of traditional television networks, cable programmes and internet production giants has resulted in a decade of television hits and hundreds of new episodes annually.

ʹGame of Thrones', which began in 2011 and ended at the beginning of this year, is probably the decade's cultural cornerstone.

The bloody saga filled with sex and the fight for the Iron Throne amazed the audience's mass and promoted the souvenir industry, organising conventions and tourist tours of the location of the footage.

But if a fantasy epos isn't your “tea slide”, there'll be television for everyone in the decade. Drama fans enjoyed the series "Breaking." Bade and dystopian terror in Hendmais Tales. Those who love comedy fell in love with the Modern Family.

Long live Disney

Hollywood has been dominated by five leading film studios since his golden age: Warner, Universal, Paramount, Columbia and Disney. Seeing today's box profits, only one big one remains.

Every third dollar gained in American cinemas was poured into Disney's pockets. The company has won $1.5 billion globally this year. And this before the end of Star Wars Reese of the Skywalkers, breaking the current record of 2016 when Disney raised $7.6 billion.

This happened in part after chief executive chief Bob Iger spent the last decade spending billions of dollars on purchases. After he bought the Marvel in 2009 and sent his heroes to the theatre, he added Luczasfilm to him in 2012, and "Fox" this year.

Moreover, Disney used its catalog for a range of nostalgic and profitable footage, from “The jungle book” to BARAddin.

And he also had time to create his original phenomenon: The series of unhindered films White Kingdom.

Differences

South Korea's K-pop charms the world and wins the top card. 2012 Hit Guangnam Styleʹ lit up the global horse dance mania and became simply everywhere that year.

Latin America's Reggaeton has also spread around the world this decade, with the hit Despacito (2017), which is still YouTube's most watched video of over 6.5 million views.

On television, the Amazon show Transparent” changed forever the way transgender people portray themselves on the screen, while on Black Panther's big screen, Marvel re-opened super-heroe movies, but with an African-American actor.

The US Movement's Academy of Arts and Sciences, which shares the Oscar Awards and the Discography Academy dividing Grammy, have been criticised in recent years for their <x)> prices” and “overlapping”, and have made intensive moves that should contribute to the variety of nominals and laureates.

Sound is not enough anymore

In the world of pop music, it's not enough to have a lot of voices like Mariah Carey, but you have to have a brand of fashion, sell cosmetic products or be in the movie.

Beyonce is a decade-long giant, becoming the first African-American to perform as a leading performer at the largest American Coachellian festival, playing at the new edition of The Lion King and performing twice at the éuper Bowl.

But she also has her brand of fashion Ivy Park, and her album and film for 2016 has won almost every prize she could.

She's an example of a new generation of musical super-stars.

Rihanna is often at the top of singles and albums boards, but 31-year-old Barbados is making a fortune with her lines of cosmetics and jewelry. This year, it also launched the luxury brand of fashion in co-operation with Hennessey-Vuitton.

Taylor Swift has won 10 Grammy since 2010, but has almost washed as much perfume.

And finally, Lady Gaga. She's been walking around with Tony Bennett and she's started a huge cosmetic line and she's excited to play in the Star Was Borné movie, which she won an Oscar award for best song.

Each is estimated at over $300 million.
