What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA new Netflix documentary tells the story of a superfan who got close to the Wu-Tang Clan and came up with an album that would exist as a single copy, the New York Post reports.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOne copy.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne copy, as a piece of fine art. His name is Tarik Assougarh, and he ingratiated himself with the group member by member.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the streaming numbers for that album are exactly one. I respect it.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy last video did about the same, and my mom watched it twice.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe best part is that this started with a fan who simply loved the music so much that he showed up and kept showing up.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSorry.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAre you crying over a documentary about a record nobody can hear?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm crying because somebody believed in something that hard, and it turned into a movie. That's the kind of commitment most of us can only dream about.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo you're saying if I keep posting to nobody, Netflix calls.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, I've been recording a podcast for four years, and my audience is also one copy. It's my sister.
