On first look, Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD just accomplished what J. Cole infamously did—went platinum with no features. Drake’s unmistakable “yeah” on the third track, however, breaks this guise. And it’s very exciting. Travis doesn’t leave guest artists unlisted on track titles by accident—Drake’s disappearing and reappearing act on Sicko Mode sets the tone for the album, transforming each song into an exercise in discovery. It’s never safe to skip a track on ASTROWORLD because you never know whose voice is around the corner. With short albums in vogue, this informational withholding is instrumental in getting listeners through the immersive 17 song project.

A money-making venture.

The dizzying transfer sums floating around the Premier League beg the question—do clubs actually make profit? They do now, thanks to similarly astronomical TV deals, put in place during the 16/17 season. Hull City, who drew the short straw on broadcasting cash that year, pocketed a handsome 94 million euros, six times what they made at the turnstile. Although these lucrative agreements balanced the books of all but two teams and dwarfed matchday sales across the UK, ticket prices have continued to keep fans on couches. Now that digital media is coloring bottom lines green, it’s time for affordable seats.
