We'll explore whether there's a hidden formula behind those catchy tunes you can't get out of your head, and James will even share tips on how to create your own chart-topper. Spoiler: it involves more than just a catchy chorus and some auto-tune.\nWe also delve into the phenomenon of Psy's \"Gangnam Style\" – how did that quirky track become a global sensation?\nTune in to find out, and get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even sing along.\nPS This interview was so jam-packed with juicy insights and hilarious anecdotes that we had to make it a two-parter! Don’t miss the mini clip where we speculate wildly about AI's role in the future of music. Could robots soon be stealing James's job? ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1E-zHD4OIvmcEIFuEps3EYa_SoQuepxDjxKcfkYoPx8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xNzFh/MDcwZmQzZDY5NTYx/MTNlMTI0ODdjZWZh/YTI1ZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
