Well, streaming in general killed off artists' main second income stream which was record sales (singles, vinyls, CDs, cassettes, etc). Most artists don't sell that many of those anymore, and it is one of the main reasons artists now charge so much for their tours. While streaming does provide earnings to million-streaming artists, platforms like Spotify have cornered the market and basically pay 0,0006 per stream, which is mindblowingly-low. You need to be making hundreds of thousands of streams in the UK to earn like 10,000pounds for one song. Artists get money from radio plays, as well as TV plays of videos, and also sindication (basically by being placed on adverts, pub playlists, gym playlists, festival playlists, local fairs playlists, etc). They get better money from this than from streaming nowadays. But streaming at the same time reaches hudnreds of millions of people (Spotify alone has like 600million users) so it can increase visibility if they highly placed in playlists, etc. This raises their profiles and thus makes them more in line to get better sindication... But in general the income from streaming is much less than they would get from when record sales were still the main way for people to consume music. What is even more disgusting is that Spotify invests in AI military technology and pays far-right nutjobs like Joe Roegan £60milion for a f***ing podcast. Whereas most artists don't see a single penny from them. It is one of the reasons why so many hate them. Another reason is that Spotify is generally really bad quality of sound. Apple Music is considered the best alongside Tidal. And Spotify has essentially focused on single songs rather than 'albums', which sucks ass as well for album-artists. Hope that makes sense?

Spotify is the main streaming platform and yet they pay the least to the artists. So they probably made a few million over the years but split between everyone probably doesnt amount to much at all. It is actually a huge issue and one of the reasons as to why some artists loathe Spotify, as it really killed off a lot of the artists income. YouTube, Apple Music and Tidal are the platforms that pay the better rates so thats probably why they have invested in youtube clips, videos and performances over the past 6 years or so.

2 Become 1 will go over 200million streams on Spotify by the end of this coming week 🥰 Spice Up Your Life will go over 200million by early next year We really need to get Holler and Goodbye to go viral asap! Those songs should be well over 100million by now damn it!

No-one does.

I am not sure what you mean? Like, are you speaking a different language here? What is going on?

Twitter is having a full day out of these lol

You have... questionable taste but THEN AGAIN what would one expect from a Melanie C fan who likes Attitude? God damn!... Even if those were true, 'fun' doesnt make it good. 'funky' does not a good video make lol it was a terrible video... 'adorable' could also be pointed at Crickets video, but you are bias! Sweat both the song and video are lame, im sorry. She looks great but as a video it does nothing other than being gimmicky. Drum Machine is a missed opportunity, where there could be a good video in there! When it comes to videos, even if she has less videos, Emma clearly does it better than Mel C. Maybe Geri tops them both with her two first albums' videos (im ignoring the tragedy that are Ride It and Desire).

Happy birthday to Miss B!

Blame It On Me was embarassing. In and Out of Love you can barely see her. Fearless was Into You was so low budget it was quite sad Sweat is tacky Drum Machine is cute but the black & white doesnt work!! Listen, Baby Please Don't Stop was embarrassing but La Bunton put her all pussy into the video with Jade. It is gorgeous and fun!

IT'S BETTER THAN ANY VIDEO MELANIE C HAS DONE SINCE WHO I AM!!! AND I WANT JADE TO **** MY ***** AND BEGS FOR MY *******!!

FREE TO LOVE NEEDS TO GOO!!!!

It is NOT BORING it has JADE SEX ON LEGS JONES AND EMMA BEING ALL HORNY ALL OVER EACH OTHER AND ALL OVER BRIDGES AND BUILDINGS IN EAST LONDON!!! IT is stylish and hot!

Both Take My Breath Away and Baby Please Don't Stop are not great videos, sorry. They are BORING. BPDS was pretty awful lol at least TMBA is pretty. We want those hunks to have fun, so my list is better!!

Yeah I don't know either. I didn't do it (if I had done it, it would have been the otehr way around lol but I would never do that)

We should suggest an Emma week! They have done Maybe so they should do: What Took You So Long I'll Be There Free Me Crickets Sing for AnaMaria You're All I Need To Get By I think those are probably Emma's best videos overall after Maybe! Hopefully they stay away from We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight, Baby Please Don't Stop or Downtown, all terrible videos lol
