The reason Spotify's stock price jumped 18% in one day.
from The Curve
Spotify's stock jumped 18% in one day and we're breaking down exactly why, plus what it means for artists, your playlist, and the music industry at large. We also get into why birth rates are falling globally and the one reason researchers are pointing to that nobody was expecting, Victoria's Secret's unlikely comeback (up 200% in a year and yes, there's a female CEO involved), and quick updates on the SpaceX IPO that could be the biggest in history, the Lululemon founder drama, and what's going on at BP. Oh, and we answer a listener question on capital gains tax that's probably simpler than you think!
