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). 
 
It would be interesting to see the income split from touring. 
Lorde performed more than 80 times over the past year.

 To put it in a perspectice, some musicians are moaning, not by Lorde, but how sparse money they get from Sportify so they pull out.
 
The best musician of all time was also the first independent musician - he was quite rich and he was the most famous musican of his time, most played of course, probably 'till today and for the next thousand years and everyone of his peers was in awe. 
 
When he died he left a fortune of, in todays currency,  $250k inclusive house.
 
His name was Ludwig van Beethoven.

 The NZ Music Awards are on tonight. I'll add any awards she wins to the OP as it goes on. I hope she can take one home

 The slayage   
Royals being the highest selling single of  2014  
Team winning SOTY    Totally deserves it. I'm trying not to give too much away about my Best of 2014 list but I have a feeling Team will be in my top 10

 I'm not sure when they measure the "year" from, but it has shifted at least another platinum certification in 2014 at least, which is pretty good by NZ artist standards. Team and Tennis Court were also in the same category   
edit: Come to think of it, I don't think there would be any other NZ singles which have outsold it if it were this year alone   
She definitely deserved it. Team was robbed with a #3 peak here. Would have definitely gone #1 if it wasn't for Tennis Court having smashed a little while before. I'm glad this at least redeems that injustice   
Only top 10? I'm hoping for a top 3 on your list at least, Alex

17 million singles   
10 million for Royals. I might update the OP with this figure tbh. Would seem about right

 Yellow Flicker Beat rises to a new peak of #65 on the Hot 100 this week. Promising news considering that with the AMA and Jimmy Fallon performances, we should be in for a rise again next week   
I'll also be interested to see how the change in the BB200 rules affect Pure Heroine (if at all). I'll be sure to post here if there's any significant change

 Now it's showing 4,443,627 plays, presumably because it gained some since yesterday.   
Do you have Royals with 215M, Team with 129M, and Tennis Court with 63M?

 Btw I'm not gonna be updating this week so that when I update next week, Flicker will jump a few places    and it'd be interesting to see a 2 week chart imo

 There is more than one link/version of YFB and the one you see appears to depend on which country you are in.
 
Here are 2 links to the Hunger Games Mockingjay Pt1 album.
 http://open.spotify.com/album/1zqJjrivIbOT5E96taosj9
http://open.spotify.com/album/24py1bFh9hOAHF3dIz8ast
If you go to Spotify Top Lists and check the list for Albums, you will find one that appears to correspond to the first link currently charting in New Zealand and Belgium (perhaps some other countries too). 
If you are in the US and search for the Album you will get the one corresponding to the second link.
 
Links to YFB.
 http://open.spotify.com/track/4wAviZ6TXjrYB6V4Za18An
http://open.spotify.com/track/0HVINS0AfIuck7csStOEHP
The first YFB has 6,799,301 
The second YFB has 4,543,745 plays.
 
I'm not sure why they do that. Perhaps this is something to do with the incorporation of streaming into the Billboard 200 or perhaps the record labels want to split US and non US markets and negotiate a separate deal for each?
 
It's annoying for us chart stats geeks.

 Just checking the numbers, if we go back 5 weeks we can see Pure Heroine worldwide sales and US sales. 
@chartnews 
WW sales: @lordemusic, Pure Heroine 9,000 (2,776,000 total).
 https://twitter.com/chartnews/status/525785719626014720
@chartnews 
US album sales: #71 @lordemusic, Pure Heroine 4,674 (1,455,699 total).
 https://twitter.com/chartnews/status/525443752618651649
Then compare with the latest US sales numbers.
 
@chartnews 
US album sales: #118 @lordemusic, Pure Heroine 4,000 ( 1,479,000 total).
 https://twitter.com/chartnews/status/538484342268653569
The US sales total has gone from 1,455,699 to 1,479,000.  
The difference is about 23,000.
 
Add the 23,000 US sales to that previous 2,776,000 WW number and we would have a WW total of 2,799,000 without any new sales outside the USA. Obviously there have been more than 1000 copies sold outside the US in the last 5 weeks.
 
Therefore, the  new WW total for Pure Heroine is 2.8 million.
