    How Being Chronically Online Revived Zara Larsson’s Career
    Feb 26 2026
    In this episode, we talk about how Zara Larsson revived her career by just being extremely online, and how a behind-the-scenes change that would have hurt most artists ended up helping her. Instead of playing it safe, she leaned into chaotic, unfiltered posting and rebuilt her connection with fans. We break down why it worked, how it shifted the narrative around her, and what other pop girls trying to escape the Khia Asylum can learn from her playbook. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Britney Spears is the latest pop star to sell her catalog. She now joins Justin Bieber and Katy Perry in making massive deals to hand over the rights to their music. But why are so many major artists selling the songs that built their careers? In this episode, I sit down with music lawyer Ryan Schmidt to break down what is really happening behind the scenes. We talk about why artists sell, how these deals are structured, what they give up, and what they keep. We also get into contracts, record deals, ownership, and how the business side of the industry shapes an artist’s career. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
