Fun fact I also just found out that Gregg Alexander wrote "Murder on the Dancefloor" for New Radicals before giving it to Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and they reunited in the studio last year for the first time in 26 years to record a cover of it.
That is a very cool visualization. I'm looking forward to the book.
As for the problem of anonymity, I didn't really need another reason to never use TikTok, but that's a good one. I might miss out on some good music, but if I don't know who's my music it is, what's the point? I'll stick to streaming where if I hear something good I don't recognize, I can stop and look it up.
New Radicals Hive stand up.

He also wrote the game of love for Santana!
Speaking as a huge fan of King Khan who knows nothing of TikTok, this is utterly baffling - but I hope he's made a lot of money from it.
Now I'd better go and see if I can dig up that New Radicals CD.
I too hope he’s made a lot of money. It’s truly possible it’s the most popular song in the history of the app
I loved that New Radicals record. So many great songs on it, and Gregg Alexander is a hell of a songwriter.

The streaming services should be able to prioritize human bands and supress ai stuff. It’s essential for real artists to succeed 😎
