Description
What makes a successful pop star today? Why does one boy band make it big and another fall by the wayside? Why are female artists more expensive to promote than male ones? And just who do you have to sleep with to get to number one? In Pop Babylon, Imogen Edwards-Jones and Anonymous take you behind the scenes of one of the world's most secretive industries. It's a world where money talks and bullshit walks. Where drugs are a way of life and where talent isn't always at the top of the list of priorities. Tracking a year in the life of a brand-new boy band, Pop Babylon is pure, unadulterated reading pleasure, stuffed with great stories about pop's most demanding divas, the most outrageous groupies and the hordes of back-office people who hoover up the money with the lines of coke. Shocking, revelatory and great down-and-dirty fun, this is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what it takes to be top of the pops. -- Publisher details.
