The 2010s: From a BANGARANG to a whimper - The Great Producers Part 7 | MxG - Season 8 Episode 25
This week brings Part 7 of my Great Producers series. We’re up to the 2010s. While the pool of influential producers seemed to contract in the ‘90s and 2000s, the 2010s saw an expansion, in line with the explosion of online & streaming music. And how the music of the 2010s started is a far cry from how it ended. Trends went from energetic to nearly comatose. I go over all of that, as well as the most influential producers from an array of genres.

PODFAST #36 - Charts vs. Streaming - What are the REAL HITS? | MxG BONUS EPISODE
You will be SHOCKED at what the REAL HITS are... At some point in every episode of MxG that discusses artists, I mention which of their albums and singles charted. For that I use the Billboard charts – mostly from the US and occasionally from other countries. The more I do that, the more I notice something. The songs that were the biggest chart hits are RARELY the same song that’s the artist’s biggest STREAMING HIT. So for this episode, I’m comparing the two, using prominent artists from each decade. And I form some pretty startling conclusions.
