Major record labels last summer got hammered with accusations that they weren’t being transparent about the money they were earning from streaming and other digital sources. Less than a year later, the world’s second-biggest record company has done something that could address those criticisms.
Sony Music Entertainment has begun rolling out an app that will allow its artists to see where their royalties and revenue are coming from, in real time, according to a report in Sweden’s Di Weekend. It also provides information about which radio stations are airing their music, which countries their music is most popular in and who it’s most popular with, separated by things like age, gender and geographic location.
The app is currently only available to artists in Sweden, but it will be rolled out worldwide later this year.
im ready.
