AVENGED SEVENFOLD Frontman M. SHADOWS Calls Out Spotify's Lack Of Artist Control
"They don't tell you who's listening to your music. They don't let you reach out to them."
This example relating to the #SeanCombs "situation" is a great breakdown of how ridiculous, overly broad Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are used to keep people silent.
Especially find the lengths of times included laughable. Surprised neither Jesse or David mentioned how the specific times quoted from an actual 2022 NDA are the same as some #copyright terms have (illegitimately) expanded to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at0iMHbCb2U #Diddy#PuffDaddy#Music#MusicIndustry#Corruption

#Beyoncé became the first #BlackWoman to top Billboard's Hot Country Music chart, multiple outlets reported, with a No. 1 spot for her single "Texas Hold 'Em."
Why it matters: Beyoncé's new music — her first to make it on the country chart — revived a debate about diversity and inclusion in the genre traditionally dominated by white artists.
I’m sure Paramore (the band) mean well by leaving a major label but becoming ambassadors of Record Store Day where major labels flood the market with pointless reissues. Making it difficult for indie bands and labels from pressing albums. #Paramore#MusicIndustry#RecordStoreDay
Another weekend, another story of #sexism... sometimes its hard to believe this is 2024.
Now, in a sector that saw 'blind auditions' (with players behind curtains) do much to reduce sexism in #orchestras hiring practice, it seems that #female pianists are still facing discrimination(s) across the world of #classicalmusic.
So, despite seeming like a more 'civilised' area of the #musicindustry, what we still see are unacceptable discrimination & #sexualharrasment.

PAUL McCARTNEY On Playing "Live And Let Die" Live - "Oh, Sh*t, We’re Gonna Kill Her"
Sir Paul McCartney was petrified he was going to “kill” an elderly person with his "Live And Let Die" performance... The Beatles legend introduced flames and pyrotechnics to his live shows...
Major labels get more profit, smaller indie labels and unsigned artists get less.
"A new threshold of minimum annual streams that a track must meet before it starts to generate royalties. The threshold, according to MBW, will de-monetize tracks that had previously received 0.5% of Spotify’s royalty pool."
