How YouTube Hits Drive Revenue for James Corden
Leo Barraclough, writing for Variety, on the revenue that “Carpool Karaoke” creates:
Digital is central to how the show is funded, primarily through brand integrations. For example, the “Carpool Karaoke” segment with Selena Gomez included a visit to a McDonald’s drive-thru, which was the result of a deal with the fast-food outlet. “That was an integration and it was incredibly profitable for the show,” Winston said, adding that it also generated 45 million views on YouTube. “We made sure it was incredibly subtle so our viewers would not for a second think that this was a sponsored bit. James and I debated it for many hours.”
The emphasis is mine. I really like Corden and his bit, but I really hate deceptive advertising. I’m actually surprised this isn’t a violation of some kind.

Spotify Says They’re Not Demoting Songs in Search
Peter Kafka, writing for Recode, reports that Spotify denies that they are demoting songs in search that have been exclusives on other streaming platforms:
Spotify doesn’t like it when big-name acts take their music to Apple or Tidal first.
But it’s not punishing them when they do, by making their stuff harder to find in the music service’s search results, the company says.
That accusation, sourced to anonymous sources in a Bloomberg report out today, is “unequivocally false,” says a Spotify rep.
Good.
