If you didn't post a "Wrapped" Insta story... did you even listen to music this year? Spotify stock soared 15% last week, hitting a record high on "Wrapped" hype. Bad Bunny hopped to #1 for most streams, while Spotify jumped to #9 on the US app store on Wednesday. The Swedish streamer also got boosted by Joe Rogan's podcast, which became Spotify exclusive (ICYMI: Spotify is obsessed with pods).
Freeing up parking space... Boeing's 737 MAX jets are back in the air after nearly two years of sitting in lots. Last week, American Airlines flew the 1st public 737 MAX flight since March 2019, when the FAA grounded the troubled airliner after two fatal crashes. American filled the plane with journalists to convince the public that it's safe ahead of its commercial flight on December 29th. Another show of support: Ryanair ordered 75 more MAX jets. Boeing stock jumped 7% for the week.
