This morning’s stunning fact:
Next year Wembley Stadium will host more live music events than sporting events. And the live music events it will host are guaranteed to financially support grassroots football, but not guaranteed to support grassroots live music.

Spotify Wrapped isn’t just free advertising for the streaming giant. As @lizpelly.bsky.social explained back in 2020, the campaign also reinforces the toxic idea that music’s value is determined solely by its number of streams.
