Paperback. Condition: New. Since 1999, the album has been declared dead more times than we can count-yet it refuses to disappear. Body of Work traces its turbulent journey through the digital era and asks why listening in forty-minute chunks still matters.Weaving insider accounts with cultural history and personal reflection Jopling tells the story of the album's unlikely survival. From bloated CD culture to Napster's atomization, from Apple's unbundling to Spotify's shuffle wars (and Adele's famous intervention), the album has not only endured, it has re-emerged stronger than ever. Body of Work makes the case that the album remains the perfect vessel for the art of song-the format every artist aspires to, even after decades of digital disruption. As producer and artist Jack Antonoff (Bleachers) put it: "the album is God." It is the defining artform of popular music, and it always will be.

Paperback. Condition: New. Who lasts in the music industry - and why?The music business is defined by volatility. For every artist who sustains a career, many more fall away, despite talent, acclaim, or early success. Riding the Rollercoaster examines why some musicians endure while others fade away.Drawing on in-depth interviews with more than seventy artists and industry insiders, Keith Jopling provides a clear-eyed, behind-the-scenes account of how careers in music are built, tested, and sustained. These are artists who have been dropped by labels, lost bandmates, experienced both commercial failure and success, broken up and re-formed - and still found ways to continue.Looking beyond individual stories, Riding the Rollercoaster situates artistic longevity within the wider structures of the modern music industry, from the attention economy to the growing concentration of power among platforms and corporations. Why do so few musicians retain control over long-term careers in a global industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars?An insider's guide to survival in modern music, Rollercoaster offers a grounded, accessible account of what it really takes to last.
