Follow the Money: The Rolling Stones

Business Daily

Available for over a year

They're one of the biggest rock bands in the world and are releasing their 25th album this week. So, in a world where artists can make billions from touring alone, should the band release new material or just go on the road? They've earned more than $200 million across 6 tours, more than $100 million over 10, while many musicians earn less that $0.01 per stream of their songs. Presenter: Hannah Mullane Producers: Matt Lines and Neil Morrow You can email the team: businessdaily@bbc.co.uk (Picture: Mick Jagger on the Pyramid Stage during a Rolling Stones set at Glastonbury in 2013.
