ProTributeBands.com has announced the release of its 2024 Mid-Year Tribute Brand Rankings. These rankings are based on the number of monthly searches for each type of tribute act, or "tribute brand".
To illustrate, a tribute band might be a group that performs music by QUEEN, such as the Los Angeles tribute act, Bohemian Queen. In contrast, a tribute brand refers to the actual original act, QUEEN.
The bi-annual rankings illustrate the interest in certain types of tribute acts which rise and fall in popularity. These cultural shifts can happen when a Broadway show or movie features or is about the original band, causing interest in that band to surge in popular culture. Actual performances by the original band, such as QUEEN's performance at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, can also help reignite popular interest in the original act.
Sadly, of course, the passing of an original artist might spur interest in their brand, as has happened recently with bookings for Tom Petty and Tina Turner tributes.
These cultural "signal flares" give tribute brands visibility, and their associated tribute bands more gig opportunities.
"Tribute bands play a significant role in keeping the music of legendary artists alive for new and existing audiences," said David Victor, founder of ProTributeBands.com. "Our rankings aim to spotlight the types of bands that fans are most interested in, and event planners are most interested in booking."
The 2024 Mid-Year Tribute Brand Rankings were put together based on the total number of searches per month on the world's largest search engine, Google. This way, the list accurately summarizes the overall level of interest in a particular type of tribute act. The rankings cover all varieties of popular musical genres as long as there is a tribute act performing the original act's music. The rankings feature groups that pay homage to rock, pop, country, and more.
2024's Mid-Year survey showed The Beatles, Journey and somewhat surprisingly, the Grateful Dead as the #1, #2 and #3 (respectively) most-searched tribute brands on Google.
