Steve and Stu have questions – so many questions. Fortunately they also have answers! In this episode:
Stuart's Big Number is 217.5 million... and what does it have to do with a B-side by US indie rock icons Pavement?
Steve wants to know which albums have the songs sequenced in the "wrong" order? (And which Blur album does he have a controversial tracklisting opinion about?)
Spotify's prices go up (again) – and who is happy about it and why?
How easy is it to get a #1 album now – and did indie band The K's do it by selling CDs?
Live-show promoters Live Nation have made "stonking" profits – and have sold 130m tickets. And it's because stadium shows are incredibly popular at the moment – but why?
Napster are being sued by Sony Music... so have Stuart and Steve accidentally travelled back to the year 2000, or is something else happening?
Donating a kidney for a sold-out festival ticket;
Stuart waits up all night for the Taylor Swift album announcement – or is it a pre-pre-pre-announcement announcement?
And in the special post-show lock-in section just for our Patreon Superfans, Steve and Stuart chat about:
The time when the man in front of Steve in the guestlist queue claimed that he was Steve Lamacq;
(And the time when Steve claimed he was someone else to get into a Bob Mould gig);
Steve’s top tip for legitimately getting into a sold-out gig;
The time Stuart accidentally ended up at a minor reality TV star’s birthday party;
Stuart CONFESSES ALL about his ILLEGAL Napster use in 1999 (and how he downloaded the pop songs he felt too ashamed to buy in the shops);
How Stuart was once gifted - and then lost - a $2000 bottle of tequila.
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!
