Boy George hits out at streaming after Top 40 charts success of vinyl-only album

He went on to say, “The song that was played the most last year on streaming platforms was ‘The Crying Game.’ It wasn’t something I wrote or had any involvement in, but I understand people have their preferences. However…

In simpler terms, the song “Karma Chameleon” artist emphasized the difference between the modern music streaming platform and traditional physical media, pointing out the achievement of his recent album.

He recently achieved his first Top 40 album, finding it amusing since he hasn’t actively marketed it. The album is available exclusively on vinyl and can be purchased from elasticStage, a novel print-on-demand vinyl platform.

Typically, you’d need to wait around half a year to get vinyl records. But now, the way we purchase vinyl has been significantly transformed.

The rhythmic reggae album titled SE18, named after the London postal district where Boy George resided during his teenage years, is currently released. However, you can only acquire it through mail order, either on CD or vinyl, as the singer has opted for a traditional method for its distribution.

During his appearance on This Morning, he expressed that his listeners appear unconcerned with streaming. Instead, they appreciate the product itself and its lyrics.
