MVR get a name check in this piece, referred to as offering a 'truly next generation experience' - I worry if it's a bit too next gen at the moment, based on LG gig, there seems to be a market/appetite for TV delivered experiences.
Could be worth adapting further with made-for-TV non interactive directors cuts (ala LG gig) whilst also offering the full interactive gig to headsets/viewers.

Re: Spotify challenging Apple, I imagine they've been emboldened by Epic games (Fortnite game creator) challenging Apple in the US as well, could be an anti-competitive turning point coming soon...
Must have been the website not refreshing fully, showing as .41% now!
Am I seeing the 25% spread correctly?? What's the driver there?
Per that musically article, some figures:
3million artists (note; not users)
Avg 30hrs per month streaming
500million hours streamed (2017) equates to c.1.4m users.
(500m/12)/30 = 1.388m
So they can't all be paying $9.99/month or revenue would be $13.88m/month or $166m/year - which suggests the hours streamed includes B2B figures and actual B2C users are hard to pick out from that data

They look pretty popular in the Royal Albert Hall for a sold out gig last year!
It was a pic of Brixton academy lit in red with some green accents and a few hashtags. The pic was actually a screenshot from someone called matteous who I would assume has also removed his tweet but can't check as his account is set to private/only followers.
Mushroomman just saying that MVR staff have already started twitting about Brixton.
Didn't seem particularly controversial but I guess if they want a grand reveal you want it under wraps.
Themis, I wonder if it's a press mailer that went out this morning and is just starting to be picked up?
I think the express and york live ones are the same company behind it all, there's loads of 'york live' 'kent live' 'devon live' sites that all run the exact same thing I've noticed about generally. (Usually click-bait guff too!)
The other link there wasn't about when I had a bit of a search earlier, either they've had the same press release or just use other sites as a source?
Either way, classic MVR waiting until the last few days before any promotion
It really does look like that, they've got all the spiel of a press release, but literally no where else running it... Someone missed the "do not publish before 08/08/20" warning or something!
Forfeited when they left the company perhaps?
Naïve to the machinations of markets here, but why would the SP tank on the back of that RNS?
1p warrants being sold off to take immediate profit?
Horrible link, but that's MVRs current Facebook platform advertising campaigns, ~22 results apparently.
I haven't got any metrics as I just have a look now and then, but anecdotally that's been zero results for a few weeks so they've definitely ramped it up a gear.
All wireless related, and I might have missed it previously, but a mix of Facebook and Instagram campaigns in there which I'm not sure I'd seen much of before.

Ah ok, thank you - I'd tried to work out if there was some kind of split with multiple listings but a quick google around didn't reveal any different 'volumes' for shares in issue
I'm missing something here... forgive my naivety!
685m shares in issue
£11.30 share price
I think therefore market cap = 7,740m
But on the London Stock Exchange site the market cap is shown as 1,930m, hence the news about dropping out in the bottom three etc.
What basic stock market element am I missing?!
From the looks of it they buy short term campaigns, but restart them with the same artists once they've expired - maybe with a tweaked target audience? Seems to only be a few days for running most of them; the other day there were nine, then only two Lewis Capaldi posts that were a bit older, then ten yesterday and thirteen today ?????
Can't rule out buying likes, but also likely to be driven by the advertising they're doing I'd have thought. Currently running 13 "Sponsored posts" that are active according to the Facebook ad library:

Long time listener, first time caller...
Interesting looking at the Facebook ads library for the melody page, currently 10 campaigns running, starting 24th April with the most recent yesterday.
Can't see impressions/views (on mobile anyway) but can sort by most impressions, with the earliest 24th Lewis Capaldi ones at the top, but followed by ones from yesterday.
Not enough there to make any claims of success, just interesting to see they've changed gear for ad strategy
