Instead of reinventing the wheel, just borrow someone else's and release a version of an already popular song.

Surely this is a quick and easy way to success, right?

Stacking the chart, Payola & streaming fraud. When did the music business get so dirty?
As the music industry continues to drift away from physical sales and into the world of digital streaming, we need to ask ourselves.....Do we trust everything we see?
Platforms like Youtube and Spotify clearly state how many times a piece of music has been streamed, but what does that ACTUALLY tell us about the songs popularity?
How do we know whether the people who streamed the song liked it or not? Do we even know if it was streamed by a human...and not a bot?
Join music producer, Luke Jones as he plays golf with a PR guy, discusses a whistle blowing interview with T-Pain and asks himself.....has anything really changed...or was the music industry always like this?
