In this week's show, Steve and Stuart cover a lot of ground, including:

Stu’s Big Number: it seems small (1000), but that’s how many days Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” has topped the Apple Music chart
How do songwriters actually earn their money – a new report reveals the truth (part of which is that a lot of them are struggling)
Which well-known bands are also performing as cover bands to make cash?
Why Spotify are under investigation in Turkey – and what does it have to do with golden toilets?
How fictional (but not AI!) bands from a Netflix K-Pop animation are getting lots of listeners on streaming platforms
And much, much more (including Ozzy Osbourne’s chimpanzee collaboration)

And in the special post-show section just for our Patreon Superfans, Steve and Stu chat about:

Steve’s latest new band tip,
Unusual merch (including poorly-timed mug purchases, and expensive AA batteries),
Steve’s Noel Gallagher spoon-in-a-champagne-bottle anecdote origin story,
The duo pitch for podcast sponsorship from the Milk Marketing Board,
Dad-dancing at gigs, and more…

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!
