Nothing "goes viral". If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today's crowded media environment, you're missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history - of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena.

Never learned so much
Between these two books I feel like I’ve learned more than all the books I’ve read prior since 2003 which is easily over 100. The author puts it in plain English not music industry talk or legalease.
