He is a terrific, flamboyant performer and stomps around the stage in a succession of eye catching outfits, adding a colourful presence to proceedings which you can't help but smile at. More importantly though he has the vocal chops to do this huge variety of songs justice, something that few could manage. Anyone wondering why he got the job just needs to hear him on 'Who Wants To Live Forever'; simply breathtaking. His, shall we say, more experienced bandmates seem to be having a ball too. Brian May sounds in great form on his guitar and has a big smile on his face all of the time. Roger Taylor is the same, thoroughly enjoy playing drums, ably supported at times by second drummer Tyler Warren and revelling in the chance to sing lead on 'I'm In Love With My Car'. Their original singer was never far away though too, appearing in video form in a couple of occasions to join in the fun. These days though it is the songs which are the real stars. That incredible back catalogue has songs which are etched into people's souls and out in the hard partying masses where I was, the word perfect, ecstatic reaction to 'Don't Stop Me Now', 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Somebody To Love' and many more was a sight to behold. It was just a shame that 'Love Of My Life' was lost in an overlong and way too quiet acoustic set which might be better left for when they are back in the arenas. By the final rousing chorus of set closer 'We Are The Champions' it was undeniable that whatever the circumstances and the billing, Queen + Adam Lambert is a magic combination and this was a triumphant headlining show. Forget any preconceptions, just go along and see for yourself that they're still a kind of magic.

finance.yahoo.com/news/streaming-services-account-75-music-210839939.htmlStreaming services account for 75% of all music listening in 2018, up from 50% in 2016 (AAPL, SPOT) Anyone who knows anything about today's music culture knows that streaming is the preferred form of music consumption. But on Friday, figures from Nielsen showed how far streaming come in the span of two to three years. The Mid-Year Music Report revealed that in the first half of 2018, Americans streamed 403 billion songs, via both video and audio services. That's almost 100 billion songs more than what they streamed in all of 2015, when streaming accounted for as much as half of US music revenue. Comparing apples to apples, as this chart from Statista does, streaming accounted for 25% more of the United States' total music consumption in the first half of 2018 than it did during the same period of time in 2016. In fact, streaming accounted for three times as much of American music consumption in the first half of 2018, as physical album sales, digital album sales, and digital track sales combined.
