I have learnt a lot aboutthe older target audience they listen to very classic music unlike teenagers. To play music for older people can be very hard on a radio because you need to know if they're going to like it. Also I learnt that you should put your music in to charts for example A,B,and C thi way ou can put your popuar music in playist A so you know they're your popularsongs.

Teenagers love listening to people who nspire them such as young artists and bands one I thing I have learnt about teenagers is that they dont like to listen to music that is old everyday they find something new.  Teenagers love to be updated on their favourite artists. lso aswell as older people and younger people life is so much easier when you put your music in to playlists keep your popular ones in paylist A and least popular in Playist C.
