This AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd trading lines about Selena Gomez dropped on Saturday. It now has 20m streams in under 48 hours. TikTok: 13m Twitter: 5.3m Spotify: 254k (<24 hours) Youtube: 144k Soundcloud: 84k The track is impressive & the artist leans hard into AI in the branding. → The title says it's AI. → Artist name is Ghostwriter. → They wear a cloth like a ghost in the videos. The fact its AI is a feature. It's why everyone wants to talk about it. What about when that's not interesting anymore? Will AI mashups of celebrity artists become a new art form, like some mutant child of the remix?

This is one of the all time great late night tv performances. It catapulted Future Islands to "overnight success". It's also a lesson in: - meeting your moment - putting in the work - & fully committing By the time of that performance, Future Islands had played over 700 shows. They'd been a band for 8 years! “It’s taken me six years to come to terms with Letterman. People saw us as this overnight success but I didn’t want to be seen that way. We were ready for that moment.” 1. Your big moment may only come once. When it arrives, meet it with full abandon. 2. There are no overnight successes. Success is a lagging indicator, the result of all the work you've done up to that point. Most people only see the result, not the years of work & grind. 3. Know who you are & fully commit. In a world of a million fakes, copycats & soundalikes, the value of true humanity - true originality - true unbridled authentic joyful individuality will always cut through. And when it does, that success will last. This is what overnight success looks like. "I'll take all of that you got!"
