TikTok, Jason Derulo & Song Of The Summer 2020
b'MAOT are joined by journalist Elle Hunt to dive into her article 'how the chaos of 2020 changed the song of the summer' featured in The Guardian. We discuss how the success of 'Old Town Road' by Lil Nas X in 2019 triggered off a mass ploy by labels and artists to reverse engineer a TikTok hit and how Covid-19 has uprooted the usual chart patterns we tend to see over the summer. We also chat Jason Derulo, the surprise Taylor Swift album 'folklore', Cats and much more.
