If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that Christmas songs are brilliant! And they can also be extremely lucrative.

Pen a half decent crimbo song and it will keep you in egg nog and gingerbread for the rest of your days!

....or will it?

Once again, music producer Luke Jones puts on his investigative journalist hat and delves into the music industry, thirsty for answers. Featuring traumatic flash backs to DJing at office Christmas parties, nonsensical conversions with a Shady Music industry insider and a semi-scientific dissection of festive songs, this episode tries to get to the bottom of the "Christmas Hit single" phenomenon.

Diamonds, jet skis and the illusion of wealth in music

Music videos are great! You get to see your favourite artists racing around in gold Lamborghinis, writhing around on the floor in fur coats and throwing fist fulls of dollars in the faces of bikini-clad models.

Bemused by the endless displays of ostentatious wealth depicted in the majority of music videos, music producer Luke Jones takes a wry look at the ongoing issue of music and money.

When a record label signs an artist, exactly how much money does that artist get, and what do they have to do in return for the advance money?

Can an act get rich of just one hit single? Producer Luke is on a mission to find out more!

Here are some links to things that Luke recommends, including the awesome cover of "Word Up" by the rock band GUN.

Have you ever noticed, music videos nearly always feature people under the age of 30? It's almost as if record labels are obsessed with youth!

Has the music industry given up on anyone over the age of 30?

Join music producer Luke Jones, as he discusses an insightful interview with pop legend Adele, the pre-teen market and asks himself, what about the oldies?
