Your telling me that they didn’t make a copy of the master?

THANK GOD THE MILEY CYRUS RECORDINGS WERE SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who's bright idea was it to put all the eggs in one basket? Idiots.

Well that's a real bummer!

It's cool, fam, I got all those jawns off Napster in the 90s. Hmu

This was over a decade ago....... so.

How are these artists supposed to put out their 13 & 14th greatest hits packages now?

Did an investigation reach a conclusion about how the fire started back in 2008?

PattyArquette Nooo! Not Aretha!
