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!
