About this listen

This week, Steve and Stuart find out that they both went to see Oasis last week, but try not to spend the whole show talking about it; and instead get stuck into all this:

  • Beyoncé’s tour is the most successful country tour of all time;

  • Steve and Stu both go to watch Oasis - but what did they think?;

  • Stu’s Big Number: Spotify wants One. Billion. Subscribers;

  • Tomorrowland festival gets 74 million viewers on Tiktok;

  • Hayley Williams lets fans who buy her hair dye listen to her songs first;

  • and Cardi B has “a full-on cheese experience” with “drippy cheese” (Stuart’s words, not Cardi B’s)

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

  • Steve and Stu check out the Oasis merch (official and unofficial);

  • They compare their experiences of seeing Oasis at Wembley - and which member of Oasis looked “a bit glum”?;

  • How much do ticket holders spend in total when they go and see Oasis?

  • They find a few more interesting points in Spotify’s earnings call – what does the company say about AI and music?

  • Steve recounts when his label released Elastica’s debut album and what happens when no-one can agree on the track listing

  • (They also further explore the world of “drippy cheese”)

As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!
