In this week's episode, we explore the astronomical success of Olivia Rodrigo's debut album 'SOUR' and the conspiracy theory that she's an industry plant. We look at the definition of an industry plant, compare Olivia's trajectory to other rumoured plants like Billie Eilish and Chance the Rapper, and dive into both sides of the argument.
