Spotify should get into urging the music industry add live performances to it. I think that's the next neat step for On-Demand Services.

I was looking @ this 5-track EP Tove Lo has of live performances. The 5 tracks combined have 1,997,514 streams.

Going by the "each track earns the artist $0.007 in revenue" method; she's made $13,982K just off those live performances. That's a lot just off live performances.

If you also factor in that's she generally unknown (the public doesn't know her, even though she has 2 hits) imagine what other artists could make. Let alone artists who upload performances constantly.

Certainly much better than a random person uploading the performance on YouTube and them making $0? The fact artists would get paid thousands from performing, AND thousands from their songs getting benefit of exposure from performing. Streaming. >

He's coming to shatter the record Adele will set on Monday.

That'll be hard to do, considering she's apparently doubling the previous records.

I highly doubt this. Maybe $0.007 for the label and then the artist ends up getting 0.0007 (or less, we know labels are trash).

Still seems a little bit much, like labels earning $3.5m from ToL or Lean On

Weeklies tomorrow.

So it looks like Ariana is going to end up blocking Alessia from entering the Top 10 on both iTunes AND Spotify

[brianc33616]

Flo-rida had a nice run in the lower part of the Top Ten with GDFR, but I don't think he's a threat to Adele's record lol. I thought the song might be a new release by Bruno Mars, which I could see some sort of argument about!

I hope your calculator has enough digits for Hello's total!

Spotify reveals artists earn $0.007 per stream - BBC News

The company said it pays an average of $0.007 per play, according to figures on its new website Spotify Artists, aimed specifically at musicians.

www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-25217353

Recently, these variables have led to an average “per stream” payout to rights holders of between $0.006 and $0.0084. This combines activity across our tiers of service. The effective average “per stream” payout generated by our Premium subscribers is considerably higher.

http://www.spotifyartists.com/spotify-explained/
Up to $0.006 for freemium, and premium payout is "considerably higher".

Artists aren't get THAT little. It's the songwriters who aren't the artists on the song, or people who are behind the scenes of the song but not the artist on the song that are getting ripped off.

I think new contracts will happen and change the way pay is distributed.


I think current pay isn't bad, but definitely needs to be better. Lots of people aren't paid properly (even though they exaggerate and make it look like it's the whole industry). But I think that's a short-term problem... once streaming happens completely, I'm sure there will be new laws and contracts pushed and people won't be settling for $0.00001 per stream.

Yeah, that figure is to labels. Still much better than I expected.

Hello is at 141m on Youtube, so that means her daily average is bigger that the previous first day record

I had forgotten about PSY's Gentlemen, and Adele being second to him despite beating Miley. Obviously a lot of us had forgotten about him too.

Adele's "Hello" got some 140.5M views this week. Predicting around 60M+ streams in the US

I think 50M is more realistic, but we will see.

Edit: Hot 100 streams that is. 35M from Vevo and 15M on-demand would be my guess.

50M from the music video + On-Demand + some other random stuff = 60M-70M

When Hits says "Hello" did 4.5M US On-Demand streams on Tuesday 10/27, she did 2,758,752 on Spotify leaving 1,741,248 streams unaccounted. Does that mean she was slaying on Apple Music and/or Tidal as well.
