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.
