I don't know about other artists, but Nicki has her own publishing company, and owns the publishing rights to every song of hers.

I found this:
First, the musician licenses their music with ASCAP or BMI, or another agency.
When the radio station plays a song, they record what they played and when, and what agency it was licensed through. They pay royalties based on how many songs they played from each agent. Then each agency develops a paycheck for each artist on their roster, based on how many of that artist's songs were played by all the radio stations.
Too bad he sold out to dance pop.
