Mark Ronson 'making $100k a week' from 'Uptown Funk' Spotify streams
Hit single has been streamed 125m times since its release in November 2014

Mark Ronson is reportedly earning $100k (£65k) per week through Spotify from streams of his single 'Uptown Funk'.

The hit single has been streamed 125m times since its release in November 2014 and was streamed over 15m times in the last week of January alone.

Using Spotify's rough estimate of its payment to rightsholders ($0.007 per play), Music Business World estimates that 'Uptown Funk' has earned $880k since its release.

This money will be shared between Ronson, his label Columbia plus his publisher Imagem and his co-writers, Jeff Bhasker, Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrence of The Smeezingtons.

Taylor needs to reconsider putting back her catalog now.

Someone tweet this to Rihanna so she puts 45S on it

Change it to "Mark Ronson proves Taylor WRONG" for the semi-hit thread

Tweeting it to her now

good for ha

Somewhat unrelated to this tweet, but writers ask for way too much sometimes.

Yay, spotify's the king, don't you think?

If Choose Your Battles were a legitimate hit like UF!, then the returns would be similar to each other.

Her sales are probably better because it's not, so.

I ****ing cannot. And people still support this scam?

oops. Should've co-written Roar then, I guess.

Sounds too good to be true tbqh

His label probably gets most of it
Then him and bruno
Then all the other co writers
It's probably a lot less

Let me get jealous!

but don't the stream pays the same value for both premium or non premium users? i'm premium, by the way, it's worth it.

I agree! People need to have maybe 50 free streams and that's it. A free trial period and then they get charged.
