Services like Spotify have revolutionised music, but how does it work for the artists? Amy Wang is senior music business editor at Rolling Stone magazine, and tells us how popular bands receive more revenue per play than less popular ones. Wendy Robinson is lead singer of band The Popinjays, and discusses how little income streaming plays can generate for some musicians. And Michael Bonner, editor of Uncut magazine explains that there is still a significant market for music on CD and other formats. Also in the programme, France's prime minister Edouard Philippe has set out details of plans for a universal pension scheme. With ongoing protests and strikes about the reforms in France, Paris-based reporter Anne-Elisabeth Moutet considers the likely impact of the move on everyday life in France.
