What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Irish DJ Jazzy released her debut album Peace and Patience on October twenty-third, after more than a billion catalogue streams in three years, her label says.

  2. Tobias Kwarteng-LundWonderful. Thirteen tracks, I heard. I respect anyone who gets there organically, which I did, with nearly four million.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorShe has said the industry now sides with virality rather than quality of music. Do you agree?

  4. Tobias Kwarteng-LundCompletely. Virality is vulgar. Quality is what matters, and mine has been streamed nine million times.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNine million.

  6. Tobias Kwarteng-LundOrganically. Tell us about the project, you said. It's called Whiskers at Midnight.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTell us about it.

  8. Tobias Kwarteng-LundEleven songs, all about my cat Biscuit leaving the room. The lead single is a seven-minute sigh. It's art.

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJazzy has two number one singles in Ireland and five UK Top Twenty singles, three of them Top Ten. What's your chart position?

  10. Tobias Kwarteng-LundCharts are a construct. I'm number one in a category I made up, on a platform I'd rather not name.

  11. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI'll ask again. Did you buy your streams?

  12. Tobias Kwarteng-LundI bought some. Fine. A man bought forty million plays, and I was just standing next to him.

  13. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorForty million. Earlier you said nine.

  14. Tobias Kwarteng-LundOrganically nine. The rest were facilitated. I cried in the car for an hour. Biscuit watched.

  15. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLightning round. One word each. Your best song?

  16. Tobias Kwarteng-LundBiscuit's Lament.

  17. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYour worst song?

  18. Tobias Kwarteng-LundBiscuit's Lament, Part Two. It did four hundred million, which is exactly why I hate it.

  19. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinal plug. Whiskers at Midnight is out now, and you'd like the public to judge it on quality alone.

  20. Tobias Kwarteng-LundOn quality alone. Please stream it, though. Forty times each, it helps the quality.

  21. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen we'll count the album's quality in streams, Mr. Kwarteng-Lund. How many so far?
