Your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works. In this week’s episode of The Price of Music, our dynamic duo Steve and Stu grapple with the following:
Stu’s Big Number is 713 million – and you are quite possibly one of them. But what is it?
Can YOU tell the difference between human-made music and AI-generated music? A study suggests: almost certainly not.
The 1975 have deleted a song from their last album on streaming services... because frontman Matty Healy didn’t like it any more. (And are artists, as Steve says, often bad judges of whether their songs are actually any good?)
Music contributed a record £8 billion to the UK economy last year... but why is there still a reason to be concerned?
Last week Steve said he couldn’t understand why Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’ is still popular … well, it turns out someone literally wrote the book that answers the question.
A quick update on the music biz deals with AI companies and what they mean for musicians;
Music Venue Properties, which saves UK grassroots venues from closing, has bought two more venues;
A vinyl record made using… coal dust?
Thundercat’s remix of Diana Ross’ ‘Upside Down’ can be listened to via – oh yes – a ‘bone-conduction lollipop’.
And in the special post-show lock-in section just for our Patreon Superfans, Steve and Stuart prop themselves at the bar to chat about:
97% of people can't tell AI music from human music. Stu is going to put Steve to the test by playing an AI song about… rock bands in Camden.
The Grammy Awards nominations have been announced - including one for… Milli Vanilli?
More on the ‘live show value for money’ debate… featuring Radiohead!
All-seater shows in small venues – Steve’s got a puzzler for Stu about Southampton Joiners...
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!
