This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: It needs to be demonstrated that the album has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the artist(s). AllMusic is a reliable source/reference however the draft lacks any collaborative sources/references. Dan arndt (talk) 05:35, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Jock Jams: The All-Star Jock Jams is the sixth album in the Jock Jams compilation series, released on November 6th, 2001.[1] This album release would be the last album released under the Jock series name.
Downfall of Jock Jams[edit]
As the final Jock compilation album was released in 2001, Tommy Boy Records faced low critical reception, low sales, stiff competition from competitor Now That's What I Call Music!'s "Now" series, and loss of song rights from record labels as a result of Now Music.[2][3] Tommy Boy's CEO Tom Silverman has been quoted saying that "labels wouldn't license their songs to us when the NOW compilations started coming out under a collective revenue-sharing agreement"[4], in regard to why the label stopped releasing new compilation albums. He noted that it "It really pissed me off..." because, to him, "...it felt like an anti-trust thing. How can four labels make a decision to do that?"[3]
Jock Jams also experienced a decline in 'anthems' that were available to use to justify a new album every year. The slow-to-adapt sporting industry had a limited number of songs that were recognizable or actively being used by a sporting team. Tom says that "It got harder toward the end to find songs, yeah. We would use old songs because there was not enough new stuff to justify an album. We couldn't find 15 songs every year that were the new anthems."[4]
Napster, and the wave of piracy it introduced in the early 2000s, affected the music industry in huge ways. With Napster, anyone could illegally download any Jock series compilation without paying for a physical copy.[3] This "free" method of downloading music allowed anyone to create their own CD mixes, without the need of the music industry, record labels, or special permission to mix songs from, for example, Jock Jams, Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 4.

Legacy[edit]
Jock Jams legacy is defined by Volume 1 going Platinum in under a year and peaking at No. 30 on the Billboard charts.[5] Following its commercial success over 6 albums, its downfall is marked by the rise of Napster, the slow adaptation of the sporting industry, and loss of song rights controlled by 4 big labels in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Despite no further releases, Jock Jams has had a lasting impact on sporting events and venues, as well as being credited for paving the way for modern bands to get their music into stadiums and integrated into sporting culture. [5] In the words of Tom Silverman, "...if you look now, they still play the Village People everywhere. There are songs that we used on that series that are still 80 percent of what you hear at games today. Fall Out Boy is one of the 20 percent of new stuff you hear, along with Pitbull, maybe Flo Rida and Pharrell."[4]
