lol, a peek up The Industry's skirt yet again...

IP:

More shady business in the music industry getting aired out in public, this time its one of the biggest - payola. Hundreds of lawsuits are being filed against labels, stations, publicists, and more!

FWIW: Payola is the name given to "pay for plays", the act of employees of Radio stations getting paid to put a particular song on the airwaves over and over again. Payola is also the reason why most songs (and of course, the artists) become hits or get any radio play at all. It's a practice as old as the music biz it self. This probe has gotten so deep that there's been controversy over a lot grammy award winners since they couldn't have won that grammy without payola. Some famous hip hop DJ's have made a career off of payola money.

I was originally listing some artists who's names are mentioned in payola scams but the list was over 100 strong full of "Legends".

Name a music celeb within the last 15 years to present and you got your self a guaranteed product of payola.


Isn't the music industry fun?
