Fun music fact's >>> When a song get's played on the radio only the writer of the song get's paid >>> Taylor Swift either get's 100% of the money since she writes most of the songs by her self or she will get 1 friend co writer so Taylor gives 1/2 of that money for the playing the song on the radio to the other writer >>> as an example only, Lady Gaga's last song " applause " had 7 other co writers for that 1 song so Gaga only got paid 1/8 of the playing of that song on the radio >>> You can not make a lot money only getting 1/8 for a song >>> Let me ad >>> Miranda Lambert's new song with Carrie Underwood " something bad " >>> Neither Miranda or Carrie wrote that song so neither one of them get's paid or makes any money at all when that song " something bad " is played on the radio (Fun Fact's)
Wow! I didn't know that. I always thought the artist got paid in radio airplay. But, I do remember Dolly Parton (songwriter) saying she still receives residual checks from Whitney Houston's "I will always love you". It's so interesting how the music industry works.. Artists get paid anywhere from 15%-22% on albums at wholesale. Single downloads they see less than a dime. Vevo certified videos over 100mil views, they get paid. I read Psy made several million from "Gangnam Style" youtube views. But again, was the it the artist, songwriter, producer or record label that got paid? Now I see why Taylor who has released 4 albums is worth more than Rihanna who 've released 7 albums. Paying cash for a $17.5 mansion in RI.
No wonder touring is the most lucrative for musicians. They always said Beyoncé Tour so much to pay the bills/hush hush lawsuits.. Allegedly.
"Surprise" me.
Bye bye
