- The emergence of AI-generated band Velvet Sundown
- Major labels in the middle of licensing discussions with AI music generators Udio and Suno.
- Major label and private equity want to buy more catalog, and what that means to their artists
- The TikTok closure is pushed back again
- How tariffs are hurting vinyl production
- How pop stardom is now shorter than an adult butterfly’s lifespan.
- An overview of music venue health.
