Previous studies indicate the relations between YouTube music videos, the role of the algorithm, musical creativity, user-generated content, and user engagement. The current investigation aims to understand the bi-directional relationships between the YouTube views, selected aspects of music, and the musicians. The study obtained 257 sample videos of 87 musicians of different categories. The researchers used YouTube filters to collect sample videos, and the obtained data were statistically analyzed using pivot tables and the Chi-square test. The results show that the seniority and popularity of musicians in the ICM fraternity are not decisive factors for high YouTube views. When the research output shows an equal distribution of Instrumental and Vocal Music performances, the Male-Female ratio in the high-viewed YT presence is not equal. The study also successfully established different levels of presence of Classical, Neo-Classical, and other music renderings by the Hindustani Raga musicians. This study reveals the necessity for identifying the functional components leading to high YouTube views.

In HRM, there are no objectively laid definitions of these two expressions. In different music cultures, musicians’ statuses were seen from the societal, economic, and based on the roles played in music production and rendering. The intra-status, a musicians’ relative position within the same group, is not clearly defined. The formal texts of HRM also do not categorically define a musician. In India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, people use the words vAggeyakAr, kalAvant, mirAsI, kasbi, AtAi, zauqI, and others, but these terms do not categorize musicians within the periphery of a specific musician’s close circuit; these words do not point to intra-status. The current investigation used the DELPHI method to find some objective answers to defining musicians and their intra-status. The HRM Experts from different ...

The current investigation used the DELPHI method to find some objective answers to defining musicians and their intrastatus. The HRM Experts from different parts of the world with an average HRM association of 39.11 years joined this investigation. The research exercise systematically generated an objective definition of HRM musician and suggested methods for defining HRM musicians' statuses.
