I can’t make it so hopefully one of yall can

Edit: I thought today was the 28th 🤦🏾‍♂️

I’m halfway through Lizzo’s album and it isn’t horrible. It actually has a couple of records I think are solid. Happy 2 Be, Dont Make Me Love You, BITCH, Whose Hair is This, and Like a Crime are good (to me). The intro didnt do her any favors however this record was good enough for a 10k-20k IMO.

Has anyone had to deal with vulgar themes for an album? Lizzo’s brand doesnt match the cover. When I think Lizzo I think positive, colorful, friendly and inclusive. The middle finger with a blank background was very bland to me. Also, calling the album BITCH was a bold choice 😂. If you were on her team would yall try to get her to change the cover/title or do you back it up and try your best to market the record?

Saw this Goodwilling the other day. Did anybody else read this or Eldest? I don’t remember anything except it was about a kid and a dragon…and that his dad wasnt shit (maybe).

Last year it couldve been 100°, 47% humidity and the route would be 189+, 360+ packages but ive noticed these last couple of hot ass days the routes were relatively chill. Hope it’s been the same for yall!

Whenever the topic of if there is money in selling music it seems like everybody is so neurotic towards the idea that one can make a living off people streaming their music catalog. According to Spotify’s 2025 year end report, 13,800+ artists generated at least $100,000 on Spotify alone so add in the other DSP’s/YT and you’re looking at $250-$350k total from streams. The screenshot is from the video I got this information. I will post a link for the short and long versions of the breakdown.

Never forget you have to be a little delusional to catch a break. People seem so hopeless in the r/musicmarketing sub I hope this is motivating. Have a great rest of the weekend!
