Wondering what caught our community’s eye in July? We pulled together the most talked‑about pieces, from chart‑topping songs to ways you can boost your photography income. Below is the quick rundown so you can grab the best bits without scrolling through every post.

Music, Art, and the Numbers Behind Them

Our deep dive into the most played song on the planet broke down streaming stats in plain language. We highlighted why one track dominates playlists, how algorithmic boosts work, and what that means for aspiring musicians. If you’re curious about what makes a global hit stick, the article gives real numbers and easy takeaways.

Switching to the visual side, we asked what makes a good abstract artist. The piece lists three core traits – fearless experimentation, strong visual storytelling, and disciplined practice – plus a few technique hacks you can try in your next studio session.

Making Money in Creative Fields

Photographers looking to hit six figures got a solid roadmap. We covered client targeting, diversifying services (like workshops and prints), and pricing strategies that actually work. Real‑world examples show how a single photographer turned a hobby into a six‑figure biz in under two years.

On the pricing front, we answered the evergreen question: how much should a portrait cost? The guide breaks down artist rates, factors that push prices up (like size, medium, and reputation), and tips for commissioning a portrait without overpaying.

If you’re into modern art, the July archive featured a look at the birth of modern art, tracing key movements from impressionism to avant‑garde. It’s a fast‑read history that points out the moments that reshaped the art world.

We also named the best city for street art in 2025, giving you a quick cheat sheet of neighborhoods, local legends, and must‑see murals. Whether you’re planning a trip or just love urban art, the guide tells you where to go and what to look for.

For trend‑hunters, the “Most Modern Art Styles” article broke down AI‑generated pieces, immersive installations, and interactive tech. Each style gets a short description, a real‑world example, and a tip on how you can dip your toe into the trend.

Print sellers got a boost from the “Best‑Selling Art Print Sizes” piece, which reveals the dimensions that fly off the shelves and why buyers prefer certain formats for home décor.

Van Gogh fans weren’t left out – we explored whether he dabbled in watercolors and clarified the true medium behind his famous Starry Night. The articles separate myth from fact, giving you a clear picture of the master’s techniques.

Lastly, we highlighted America’s top landscape artists, the contemporary genre’s defining traits, and the art styles to watch in 2024. Each segment offers a quick list of artists, their signature looks, and why they matter today.

That’s the July 2025 roundup in a nutshell. Dive into any of the topics that spark your interest, and you’ll find practical tips, clear explanations, and plenty of inspiration to fuel your own creative journey.
