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. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like.

The music world has changed, and there’s no coming back. The absolute majority of people now prefer to stream their favorite music, and 94 percent use playlists for this purpose. In fact, playlists replaced the radio, and now every artist has a chance to become a newborn music star just from a successful placement in a top Spotify or Apple Music playlist. But what do you need to become “playlist” worthy? What music do you need to record? And, most importantly, how do you get on such playlists?

Exceptional book series, bad narration
Can not be more satisfied with the content of this book. Goes into depth with each topic in a clear manner which average people can understand and execute. I have listened to both books and highly recommend to someone interested in the music business and plans to make money. Wish I would have known this info before releasing music in the past.
As far as Nader Nejad goes, I’m sure he is a good guy, but gotdam bro. Your audio is hot trash. I can hear feedback, I can hear cars outside, coughs, heavy breaths, terrible quality audio. Worst audio I have heard all year after 13+ audiobooks. Quit trying to do audiobooks bruh. Please.

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.
