Coldplay will also continue to sell out shows even when none of their singles chart.And I'm certain they will not get any better in any way

U2, basically

Imagine if coldplay recorded an album of rebel songs.

that would be gas.

and probably awful

“I didn’t mean to cause you Troubles”

“I didn’t mean to cause you Troubles”

From the song ‘orange’?

‘Viva la Ira’ could be another adaptation

Are you still talking about Christy Martin?

I think I really prefer the digital age. I have no need for more possessions when it comes to music, film etc.
I went into a record shop at the weekend out of habit. I sure liked looking at the vinyl and lovely boxsets of albums I already own but the idea of buying them was crazy to me. Moving house twice in 3 years will do that to you.
I'm happy to be spending money every month ON music. And in a way (obviously not a fair way yet) the artists do get the money. Eg if I stream Number Of The Beast today Maiden get a few bob. If I put on my record of Number Of The Beast, they don't.

I suppose that's a unpopular, and extremely simplified, opinion.

What's a few bob?

An unpopular amount of money

An unpopular amount of money.

Is unpopular the same as negligible?

What's a few bob?

3 microcents in todays money

(if you stream the Iron Maiden record every day for 270 years it would be the same as buying one album- the idea of having a streaming subscription as spending money on music unfortunately doesn't really hold up)

Have you adjusted for inflation for anto being a teen buying maiden records?


(I know it's still gonna be over 100 years)

Not unpopular with me. AFAIK the total revenue generated by recorded music is higher than it ever was (see Recorded music industry - global revenue 2022 | Statista). If your favourite act can't make a living it's not Spotify's fault

hmmm I don't want to start a debate about streaming unfairness. I just don't want any more STUFF.

Just bask in the unpopularity of it all, knowing you have succeeded.

He hates records, he hates buses. Where's it gonna end.

Isn't it about who's getting the revenue though?

Spotify is leveraged to make the record companies money, not the artists
The record companies own a piece of Spotify - they take their money off the subscriptions

Ha! What's there is there.
