Researchers analysed 12,000 rap, country, pop, R&B and rock songs released since 1980 and found musicians have largely abandoned the lyrical poetry of Bob Dylan, Freddie Mercury, the Beatles and other all-time greats.

Queen of the United Kingdom is selling a whopping $1.2 billion album of their entire music catalog, breaking with a drop in song values since a string of megadeals during the pandemic. The surviving band members and Freddie Mercury's estate are in advanced talks to sell their albums, broadcast rights, and royalty streams for more than double the current record set by Bruce Springsteen, who sold the rights to his music for $550 million in 2021. Springsteen's contract was inked before a number of other artists, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Justin Bieber, collected hundreds of millions of dollars for their own collections. However, the market has cooled since, and several major investors have seen their song sales decline by as much as 14 percent. According to industry experts, the Queen's blockbuster agreement would defy the decrease in music catalog investment and demonstrates that the world's best artists will continue to request astronomical sums for their collections.

'Italy Jamaica.' Marley loved London, from his first visit in 1972 to his premature death from skin cancer in 1981, despite his efforts to imitate the culture of his homeland.
