The Rolling Stones, Now on TikTok; In Defense of Spotify; FUGA Inks Deal with Marathon Music

#1626 | Your Daily Dose of Music Streaming News

Wrapping up the first week on Substack. Still working out some kinks but I appreciate all the feedback! Have a nice weekend! 😀

⭐️ The Rolling Stones (And Their Full Music Catalog) Are Now on TikTok

The band's official account, along with the individual accounts of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, will share exclusive behind-the-scenes content and more.

⭐️ In Defense of Spotify

Streaming is keeping recorded music alive

⭐️ Why Is Radio Missing Out On The Silver Tsunami?

No Classic Rock station went “wall-to-wall” Jeff Beck or “Jeff Beck A-to-Z” when the news broke.  Perhaps a handful played “Freeway Jam” and called it good.  Others perhaps spun a Yardbirds tune, Beck's seminal 60's band that produced a string of British Invasion-era hits.  He was right there with Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page in rock n' roll's forefront.
