The Drop

The crisis in Australian music. Plus, did 'The Bear' redeem itself?


Listen Later

The most popular Australian song in this year was released 11 years ago. The dominance of Vance Joy's Riptide, as well the command 40-year-old tracks by AC/DC have on the charts have highlighted a massive problem in Australian music: It's never been harder for Australian artists to break through, get played or make a living touring. Osman, Thomas and Mel discuss the situation and how the disintegration of live music and festivals, and the dominance of platforms like Spotify, YouTube and TikTok are all combining to squash Australian music. They also discuss what steps could be taken to support the local industry.

Plus dissecting the new trailers for Gladiator II and F1, the Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron film A Family Affair, and look at whether the second of The Bear season three was any better than the first.
