I always wonder a bit about that. I much prefer the new stuff but the stats, as I say in the podcast, are quite straightforward: famous names on playlist = more downloads. That makes sense of course - why would you bother to download a massive podcast if you had no idea what you were in for? But that equation about is presumably the simple reason why commercial radio and television is so fucking woeful. No-one is happy with 'enough' listeners, they want as many as they can possibly manage. And then someone picks up a Coldplay record. Cheers Michael. I always wonder a bit about that.
