Lily Allen

My favorite of her roast songs is Alfie, which she wrote about her little brother
.


(In case you didn't know, this is her little brother) -

Who is either one of them and why should I care?

He is the sheriff or chief of police or whatever on Stranger Things. I suspect you should not care. I don't.

I do kind of wonder about the business model of something like this. The videos and songs have some production value. They spent a fair bit of money to make them. How does she make money off of them? Are youtube/tictok views really enough? Is she selling albums? Is she hoping to get commissioned for other songs?

I understand how it works with youtube with folks just sitting in front of a microphone and maybe throwing up a few AI visuals or some Network news clips but this just seems like a much bigger investment.

I mean, her debut album sold over 2.6 million copies and her second sold 1.2 million. Her more recent albums have sold less, but made money elsewhere. She's a pretty big name in the music industry. Not A-list, certainly, but probably just below.

Umm, she’s a fairly successful singer and quite popular in England. She’s definitely going to make money on this.

Good stuff. I just listened to the YouTube clip about her brother and it's a catchy beat. I wish the best for her.

At the same time, who is still buying albums? I honestly had no idea. I use Spotify and YouTube while refusing to throw away my dusty CDs from my younger years even though I never listen to them anymore.

Exactly. It's got to be close to six years since I've actually played a CD but YouTube and Spotify get a daily workout.
