Now that he's co-written Daft Punk's current smash, "Get Lucky," Nile Rodgers is more in-demand than ever. Rodgers sat down with New York's WCBS-FM (a Radio.com station) today (Aug. 7) to talk about the state of the music industry, and how his Daft Punk collaboration could be the most important track of his illustrious career.

"The growth in the industry is 19 percent this last year, which is huge because now we're approaching numbers that I'm accustomed to, like the numbers I grew up with," Rodgers noted. "I co-wrote–I think it's still the biggest song of the year this year, Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky.' It's not the biggest seller of my life, but it's in a weird way one of the most influential, because it's the only record that I've had that's been No. 1 in 97 countries simultaneously. That's half the countries in the entire world. That was a statistic that I never even knew people kept track of.

"With 'Get Lucky,' we sold a million [copies] in just England alone, which is impossible," Rodgers continued. "I've never sold a million records in England. That's only happened 135 times in history, and some of those records took 25 years to get to that level."

Rodgers, who is currently on the winning side of an ongoing battle with prostate cancer, is making a point to fully enjoy moment of his revived popularity among the music elite, and was particularly excited to discuss "Lay Me Down," a new collaboration with EDM star Avicii and Adam Lambert.
