In the modern day it is extremely easy to promote music and songs. The artists are just as famous as the song itself due to this promotion. Social media is a huge contributing factor towards helping to promote songs as the artists will upload the link onto a social media platform such as Twitter and then their fanbase will retweet the link meaning that a larger crowd will be able to know about this song.

There are also apps such as Shazam which allow people to know the name of a song if it is playing somewhere such as a supermarket or a shop and this allows people to know what song and what artist is singing the song.

This means that more people in the modern day know about different songs and music and in general there are many different genres of music comparing to back in the 1920s. Overall, due to the modern day technology and a lot more people being aware of different music due to technology, it is so much easier to promote music and for music to become a lot more popular. Artists and bands in the 20s and 30s were at a disadvantage due to the fact that technology was not yet this advanced.

Songs in the 1930's were sometimes more popular than the actual artist themselves. Songs were made by one artist and this became more popular than them, and then a month later, this song would have been redone by another artist and this was not uncommon. Music from the 1930s was generally upbeat and sometimes very relaxing. Humour was an important element in this music.

Even though the jazz age had ended, during the 1930s jazz continued to mature as a musical form. Jazz music changed to a sweeter sound. Big bands transformed it into swing music which was danceable and the crowds enjoyed this a lot. Several female vocalists got their start as jazz singers in the 1930s including Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.

In the urban areas, especially Chicago, Illinois, the blues was a dominant musical style in the 1930s. Singers, many from the Mississippi Delta, strummed guitars and sang the blues about their current situations. Their music was sought out and appreciated by the many Southern blacks who continued to migrate northward during the decade. These "bluesmen," including Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Robert Johnson, were cheap to record, making blues record sales quite profitable. Boogie-woogie, gospel, and swing music were all influenced by the blues.

Another style of music that developed during the decade was distinctly "Western" in form. By the 1930s, the American West with its cowboys and open country had become legendary. This new style of Western music capitalized on the range with its "singing" cowboys. Singers such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers sang songs like "The Last Roundup" and "The Call of the Canyon" with Texas or Oklahoma accents and dressed in elaborate cowboy costumes.

Similar to the 1920's music, it was hard to promote music therefore the only possible ways would've been through people watching the bands or the new technology of the radio.

Music in the 1920s was called 'a combination of nervousness, lawlessness, primitive and savage animalism and lasciviousness.' Jazz was the main genre of music in the 1920s as it was very loud and syncopated. As for promotion, the jazz recordings were often called 'race records', and were sold and played in mainly black neighbourhoods in New York and Chicago.

King Oliver Creole Band is an example of popular band from the 1920s and they mainly played on the South side of Chicago. King Oliver constructed together a mixture of styles such as marches and 'ragtime' and also mixed in blues and pop songs of the 20s. Oliver's big hit was called' Dippermouth Blues', the band played the song at night due to requests from their crowds. Dippermouth Blues was the first jazz song to feature on a fully developed trumpet solo. At the time of the 1920's, King Oliver was the most famous jazz player in the world, he was closely followed by Louis Armstrong.

Another example of a famous Jazz artist was Louis Armstrong. Armstrong is probably the most famous and influential musician the United States had ever produced. Armstrong played with King Oliver's band at the beginning of the 1920's, however, by the end of the year he had moved on to a highly successful career, playing around the world with the most famous Jazz musicians. He was known by names such as 'Satchmo' or or 'Pops' and he experimented with nearly every musical style such as Hawaiian, Gospel, Bluegrass and many more.

However, due to the non existence of social media and promotion through the internet, it was evidently harder for artists such as King and Louis to promote their songs. Towards the end of the 20s, radio broadcasts were very common and help get the word out about these artists, however it was evidently harder to promote music as these people did not have the ease of social media whereby in a matter of minutes, many people will know a lot of information about an artist or song nowadays.
