About this listen
In 2013, the extravagant, year-long album rollout spectacularly imploded. Beyoncé's seismic surprise drop redefined the rules, while high-profile campaigns for Lady Gaga's ARTPOP and Katy Perry's Prism faced unexpected turbulence. Meanwhile, Kanye West's Yeezus challenged everything. This episode argues that 2013 was the breaking point: the moment audiences grew tired of the overexposed spectacle. We'll trace how this single year killed the old promotional model, accelerated the industry's pivot toward streaming, and forced a complete rewrite of the rules for how pop music reaches the world.
