Just let this sink in... Taylor Swift’s new album sold 1.6mn US units in a single day, including 600,000 vinyl copies, and is on track to become the highest-selling music release since Nielsen began tracking albums in 1991. The Swifty machine marches on. #taylorswift #music

Checking out the new Farther system on Warpcast. Seems like a good alternative to $DEGEN! Farcaster FID7626

Love this piece. Did you know the mafia used to own and control jukeboxes across America? #music #mafia #jukebox clicktrack.fm/p/the-dark-his…

Interesting read...especially the line "the company is unable to say how much of those royalty payments actually goes to musicians."... Thoughts? 🤔 #music #musicindustry #spotify bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It was announced recently that AI music creation platform Udio's users are creating ten tracks a SECOND.😲 We were barely sustaining the amount of new music created the traditional way on Spotify et al, now AI has entered the game... Thoughts? #ai #music

'Eco-records' and techniques in creating more environmentally friendly physical music formats seem to be gaining steam lately. Ed Sheeran is the latest to try one out on a vinyl repressing of 'X'. Although at £46... it's pretty steep. #music #vinyl shorturl.at/nrY34

666 Followers? Please someone follow me to take me above the devils number 🤣😈😈😈 #followers #devil

Interested to see if 'Farther' on Warpcast flourishes. Taking on the role of next $DEGEN for tipping, perhaps? Farcaster FID7626 $FARTHER

The Black Keys Cancel North American Tour, Retread To Smaller, ‘Intimate’ Venues. They didn't really state they couldn't fill the venues which was probably true. Should bands be more open? I see a change in ticket pricing on the horizon... shorturl.at/4F2Tw #tours

Interesting music stat of the day... "THREE QUARTERS OF ALL ROYALTIES GENERATED BY UK ARTISTS ON SPOTIFY IN 2023 CAME FROM LISTENERS OUTSIDE OF THE UK" #music #musicstats

So anyone going to Art Basel next week? 🤔

TikTok is now forming an investment team to acquire music content and companies... I pretty much saw this coming. Will this change the face of short form music and the ways artists create tracks even more? #musicbusiness #tiktok musicbusinessworldwide.com/tiktok-is-form…

And there it is. The majors and suing AI music platforms Suno and Udio. Creating songs with just a prompt, the claims are the platforms used copyrighted material to train their AI models. #ai #music #musictech shorturl.at/rc8iy

I really don't feel this is right. So many vinyl variants that extract as much money as humanly possible from the biggest fans. If the merch gives back to fans in a good way, I can see it...but this? #music #taylorswift shorturl.at/SxKUL

With Glastonbury kicking off today, it's important to remember the UK festival scene is facing a major challenge in 2024, with over 42 festivals announcing postponements, cancellations, or complete closures. 😔 Is this the end of an era for music festivals? #festivals #music

With women claiming four of the top five on the Billboard 200 for first time in over a year and 2 out of 3 headliners for this year's Glastonbury festival being women (Dua Lipa and SZA), it's a good time for a fairer music industry. shorturl.at/IpKto #music #musicbusiness

Eminem has brought back the concept album with his latest record, 'The Death of Slim Shady'. Are concept albums a dying breed? Streaming services have changed the way many listen to music. What are your thoughts?

So Roblox get to use songs from the Distrokid catalogue and the artists get nothing? It's sad that this doesn't surprise me anymore... #music #roblox musicbusinessworldwide.com/roblox-strikes…
