'Paranoid' Surpasses One Billion Streams On SPOTIFY

https://blabbermouth.net/news/black-sab ... on-spotify

Might be just about able to afford a celebratory round of drinks for surviving band members from the earnings.

Maybe. What a shitty platform

The pits. Unless I'm mistaken, i think spotify pays the labels and the latter then pays the artist whatever way it makes arrangements so it's the industry really i guess. The whole thing sucks

Not sure it works for anyone but the mega corporations tbh, but the big artists like Taylor Swift or Neil Young can at least put two fingers up to them and make their own arrangements. The poor saps at the other end have little choice but to get stiffed sadly.

Perhaps the most destructive myth that we've been sold is that the experience of the superstar is just a heightened version of what all musicians (or actors or writers) experience, instead of the exception. Most are grinding it out under unfair conditions and an oversaturated market. But because the coverage of the music industry focuses on the superstars, it doesn't seem like it's an exploitative system where only a few prosper. I've mentioned a former friend, a talented writer, who dreamed of being Stephen King. Comfortable home, living off his writing and able to devote his time to his craft. I'd tell him that the vast majority of writers are plugging away at regular jobs and their passion is spent in their spare time. Very few writers get to the point of being a Stephen King. But that's the dream, that's the horizon that we're encouraged to run toward as if it's just and reachable.

Not unlike athletes who dream of becoming a pro.

RIght—the funnelling process means very few go far. How many neighbourhood athletes excel in high school? How many high school athletes excel in college? How many college athletes are good enough to turn pro? How many pros have a long career? And how many of those become insanely wealthy? The odds are always very long. So even those chump pitchers who bounce around and bounce around—they've actually succeeded well beyond most of their peers. But we're conditioned to see them as meh, even laughable.

That's pretty cool

I can't evaluate until I see the "Another Girl Another Planet" one for comparison.

You're probably right, but I've been assured that it's way better than "Paranoid."

[Flex]

We can all agree the blink 182 version of another girl another planet is the best, right?

Every so often I listen to it because Im not completely infallible but that song is ok at best and can't come close to Paranoid. Id rather listen to post Dio Sabbath

I can't imagine Blink 182's version of anything would be best. Intensely mediocre … but whacky!
