Spotify is filling listeners’ playlists with “ghost artists” to minimise royalty costs.Per Liz Pelly’s findings shared in Harper’s Magazine, popular playlists ranging from jazz and classical to lo-fi hip-hop are being padded out with material by ghost artists, effectively decreasing the amount of royalties Spotify pays genuine musicians while increasing their overall profit margins.Known as “Perfect Fit Content” (PFC), the practice was introduced to Spotify’s editors in 2017 and engineered to maximise profit by partnering with a collection of production companies, largely located outside the US.Pelly’s report noted that when the issue first came into public view earlier this year, a Spotify spokesperson claimed the allegations were “categorically untrue, full stop”, and denied the company was creating its own fake-artist tracks.NME has reached out to Spotify for a comment.“But,” she continued, “while Spotify may not have created them, it stopped short of denying that it had added them to its playlists.”The report also nodded to findings by music writer David Turner, who used analytics to show Spotify’s “Ambient Chill” playlist had been wiped of artists like Brian Eno, Bibio, and Jon Hopkins in favour of tracks from Epidemic Sound, a Swedish company that offers a subscription-based library of production music, including the kind of stock material largely used in the background of adverts and TV programmes.One former employee said of the practice: “Some of us really didn’t feel good about what was happening. We didn’t like that it was these two guys that normally write pop songs replacing swaths of artists across the board.

Natalie Burns Joins Anthony Hopkins In ‘Eyes In The Trees’

Uma Thurman, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Phoebe Dynevor are starring in a big new project!

Alex Ritman “Notes on a Scandal” and “Iris” director Richard Eyre has assembled a starry cast for his next feature, an evocative romance fictionalizing the inspiration behind Daphne Du Maurier’s “Rebecca.” “The Housekeeper” — being launched at AFM by Embankment Films alongside CAA Media Finance, which is co-repping U.S. rights — will be led by Oscar nominee Uma Thurman (“Oh Canada,” “Pulp Fiction”), two-time Oscar winner Sir Anthony Hopkins “(The Father,” “The Silence of the Lambs”) and Phoebe Dynevor (“Bridgerton,” “Fair Play”).

EXCLUSIVE: Filmmaker Edward Berger says that Ralph Fiennes’ sublime performance as the cardinal charged with overseeing the election of a new pope in awards-season contender Conclave has a “whisper” of the inscrutability Anthony Hopkins displayed in his portrait of a veteran butler in James Ivory’s 1993 film The Remains of the Day. 

Katcy Stephan Netflix has acquired the Anthony Hopkins-led biblical epic “Mary,” and will release the film this year. From director D.J. Caruso (“Disturbia,” “Eagle Eye,” “XXX: Return of Xander Cage”) and writer Timothy Michael Hayes (“BirdsEye”), “Mary” is a coming-of-age biblical epic in which Mary is shunned following a miraculous conception and forced into hiding.

The drama behind the election of a Pope has been done to various degrees of success by Hollywood before, notably 1968’s pulpy The Shoes Of The Fisherman, and 2019’s wonderfully literate The Two Popes with Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins in an imagined story of the rise of the current Pope Francis and retiring Pope Benedict. But now with Conclave, adapted by Peter Straughan from the Robert Harris novel and directed by recent Oscar winner Edward Berger (All Quiet On The Western Front), we have a papal election thriller that rivals anything a political party could dream up. To put it succinctly in literary terms, this one is a real page-turner. In pure cinematic turns it is a barn-burning thriller. A superbly crafted — in every respect — stunning dramatic achievement, this is the kind of well-regarded, praiseworthy adult drama that used to be a staple for studios but now is an increasingly rare bird.
