The Price of Music

Beyoncé sells $400m+ of tickets; How much money is Oasis making from merch?; Spotify wants a billion subscribers; Hayley Williams surprise-releases songs; and Cardi B’s "full-on cheese experience"...


Listen Later

This week, Steve and Stuart find out that they both went to see Oasis last week, but try not to spend the whole show talking about it; and instead get stuck into all this:

  • Beyoncé’s tour is the most successful country tour of all time; 

  • Steve and Stu both go to watch Oasis - but what did they think?;

  • Stu’s Big Number: Spotify wants One. Billion. Subscribers; 

  • Tomorrowland festival gets 74 million viewers on Tiktok; 

  • Hayley Williams lets fans who buy her hair dye listen to her songs first;

  • and Cardi B has “a full-on cheese experience” with “drippy cheese” (Stuart’s words, not Cardi B’s)

And in the special post-show lock-in section just for our Patreon Superfans, Steve and Stu chat about:

  • Steve and Stu check out the Oasis merch (official and unofficial); 

  • They compare their experiences of seeing Oasis at Wembley - and which member of Oasis looked “a bit glum”?;

  • How much do ticket holders spend in total when they go and see Oasis?

  • They find a few more interesting points in Spotify’s earnings call – what does the company say about AI and music?

  • Steve recounts when his label released Elastica’s debut album and what happens when no-one can agree on the track listing 

  • (They also further explore the world of “drippy cheese”)

As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!

See you next week!
