 Hopefully it'll get a nice little boost with the upcoming Black Friday sales to get it close to that 1.5M

 Excellent work thanks.   
She has some features too, so it will get more and more difficult to track them all.
 
Easy (Switch Screens)[Sox Lux feat. Lorde]: 543,618 plays.
 
This Is Not a Game: [The Chemical Brothers feat. Miguil]: 152,239 plays.
 
Lorde was on that Chemical Brothers track, but she does not appear to be listed as a feature on Spotify, so it’s unclear if she gets streaming income from that one. She’s also going to be getting income from songwriting for some of songs on the Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack.

 Calculating Total Money Made By Lorde's Songs From Spotify  
https://news.spotify.com/us/2014/11/...-and-counting/
	Quote:

				500 thousand listens on Spotify would pay out between three and four thousand dollars.
			
		 | 
	 
	 
 500,000 plays = $3,000 - $4,000
For the purpose of this exercise I'll put the figure in between, so we'll say  500,000 plays = $3,500.
 Figures are rounded to the nearest $1,000 (except for Flicker's b/c rounding would make it inaccurate).
Royals: (211,516,905 / 500,000) * 3,500 = ~$1,481,000 
Team: $886,000 
Tennis Court: $443,000 
Glory And Gore: $208,000 
400 Lux: $198,000 
Buzzcut Season: $177,000 
Ribs: $172,000 
The Love Club: $134,000 
White Teeth Teens: $132,000 
A World Alone: $118,000 
Bravado: $111,000 
Still Sane: $103,000 
Million Dollar Bills: $86,000 
Everybody Wants To Rule The World: $72,000 
Biting Down: $66,000 
Swinging Party: $57,000 
Yellow Flicker Beat: $37,000 
Buzzcut Season Live In Concert 2013: $14,000 
Royals Live In Concert 2013: $12,000 
Swinging Party Live In Concert 2013: $10,000 
400 Lux Live In Concert 2013: $9,000 
Bravado // Fffrannno Remix: $2,000 
Flicker (Kanye West Rework): $650
 GRAND TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY $4,528,000 AS OF 11/15/14
Get money, Lorde, Joel, and Republic!

 Some more random data. 
To find songs where Lorde has songwriting credits, go to the  songs publishing song search page:
 http://songsearch.songspub.com 
Search by writer: Ella Yelich O'Connor 
Note: songsearch database doesn't appear to be updated with songs from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
 
Here is a graphic for her estimated income up to the beginning of November 2014, when she turned 18.
  
Note: This is just for record sales (including digital sales) without income from streaming, touring and other income. The currency is in NZD, so for USD multiply the numbers by about 0.80.

 I find it crazy that itunes gets almost 2.5 times as much as Ella just for having it available to sell. idk.. that just seems odd.

 The retailer takes about 28-29% which is in line with most estimates I’ve seen for iTunes and Amazon, leaving about 70-72% which goes to Universal. Then it appears that Universal take about 52% of the total, which is actually 72% of what comes from the retailer. 
 
This leaves 28% of the money that goes to Universal (or about 20% or the total) that ends up going to artists, songwriters and others. e.g. the Sony share for Joel Little. 
 
From these numbers, Ella ends up with 18% of the money paid to Universal (or about 13% of the total). 
 
 
Since Ella is 50% co-writer for all of the songs on Pure Heroine (standard version), she would be getting more than some other singers. 
 
It would be interesting to see the income split from touring. 
Lorde performed more than 80 times over the past year.
