Merck Mercuriadis had a good Christmas. On Christmas Day, the No 1 song in the UK was LadBabyâs Donât Stop Me Eatinâ, a novelty cover version of Journeyâs 1981 soft-rock anthem Donât Stop Believinâ. It replaced Mariah Careyâs All I Want For Christmas Is You, which had topped the chart 26 years after its original release. Both songs are unkillable, evergreen hits, which are closing in on 1 billion Spotify streams apiece. Both songs are among the 61,000 owned, in whole or in part, by Mercuriadisâs investment company, Hipgnosis Songs Fund, and epitomise the thesis that has made the 57-year-old Canadian, in less than three years, the most disruptive force in the music business.
