🎵 Has music lost its mystery?This week on Listener Land, we dive into the strange new world where Spotify is labelling human artists, AI-generated music is flooding streaming platforms, and fake listeners may be influencing what we hear.As Spotify celebrates its 20th birthday, we look at how music discovery has changed and ask whether technology has stripped away some of the magic that made music feel special in the first place.We also explore Spotify’s most-streamed artists, songs and albums of all time, discuss why rock music may be making a comeback, uncover the surprising Sheffield connection to one of Eminem’s biggest hits, revisit Prince’s legendary George Harrison tribute performance, and look at some of the most inventive vinyl Easter eggs ever hidden inside records by artists such as Jack White and David Bowie.Has streaming made music more accessible than ever, or have we lost something important along the way?Join Louis, Geoff and Wayne for another Listener Land discussion.#listenerland #spotify #aimusic #musicpodcast #vinyl #prince #jackwhite #davidbowie #musicnews #arcticmonkeys Timestamps00:00 Spotify turns 2001:30 Spotify labels human artists03:00 AI music and fake streams06:20 Spotify’s most-streamed artists ever09:20 Spotify’s most-streamed songs ever11:20 Spotify’s most-streamed albums ever14:40 Is rock making a comeback?16:15 The Sheffield connection to Eminem’s “My Name Is”17:05 Prince and the George Harrison tribute debate19:30 Joe Pesci’s forgotten music career21:00 Jack White’s incredible vinyl Easter eggs24:20 David Bowie’s hidden Blackstar secret29:00 Tribute band quiz31:45 Malcolm McLaren death mask controversy
