▼ + stars: | 2024-11-21 | by ( Callie Ahlgrim | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +19 min

Music has always been a business, but streaming, TikTok, inflation, and the ballooning costs of touring have dramatically altered a musician's traditional routes to making money. But a lot has changed since streaming usurped radio play as the kingmaker of a rising musician's career. Even the hitmakers who dominate your "For You" page are getting paid "almost nothing" from TikTok, as one music exec told Billboard. 1 song on TikTok doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things," Tinashe's longtime manager, Simonne Solitro, explains. "That's not just me," Violet tells me, "that's literally every single artist I know."

Ms. Secor, a design consultant, looked out the window at Broadway and saw a stream of people fleeing north. Ms. Secor sold her TriBeCa co-op in 2005, and the couple welcomed twin girls, Romy and Naia, in 2006. But Ms. Secor had lived in New York for more than a decade before 9/11, and she missed the city. But Ms. Hill had different advice. Ms. Hill found some condos that fit the profile, streaming her visits on FaceTime so Ms. Secor could see them from Quebec.

☆ Thanasi Kokkinakis: Tennis star in heated exchange with umpire over a toilet break

During his third-round match at the French Open, Australian tennis player Thanasi Kokkinakis was left dumbfounded after seemingly being refused a toilet break by the umpire. After losing the second set, Kokkinakis – who had taken a toilet break after the first set – approached chair umpire Katarzyna Radwan-Cho. “F**king sh*t, we get two for a match,” he added, referencing the number of toilet breaks permitted in five setters. “You have to sprint, but the problem is on [court] Simonne-Mathieu the bathrooms just aren’t quite as close as they are on Chatrier and Lenglen. “You can see his frustration because he’s trying to get there as fast as possible, but it’s just physically not going to happen … but at least it didn’t happen on court.”
