You can follow Quora on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.To make your browsing experience more friendly, we have separated artists into four tiers based on their total monthly listeners: "We Gonna Make It" ( 1 to 4.9M), "FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt" ( 5 to 9.9M), "Kinda Like a Big Deal" ( 10 to 19.9M) and, finally, "I Got The Keys" ( 20M+). Learn from experts and access insider knowledge. This question originally appeared on Quora. Plus, it would be rendered useless by the next billing cycle anyway. This makes finding a reliable “average” virtually impossible, since every arrival at a “rate” is a single snapshot false equivalent. Per-play allocation looks different to every rights holder, depending on their ownership contracts. Their job is to faithfully fulfill the contracts as they are written. Streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music are certainly not in a legal position to normalize these payments. Additionally, performing artists often get secondary payouts from labels, while the term “artist” often can refer to “songwriter” or “performer” interchangeably, meaning even another party may receive a percentage of the per play allocation. There are many other ownership scenarios that further complicate the matter. This artist gets a low “average” payment per play.
Artist owns 0% of the master recordings, 25% of the compositions (say, because of three other band members), and has a publishing company handle administration.This artist gets a medium “average” payment per play. Artist owns 0% of the master recordings but 100% of the compositions, but has a publishing company handle administration.This artist gets a semi-high “average” payment per play. Artist owns 0% of the master recordings but 100% of the compositions, as well as performs their own publishing.This artist gets a high “average” payment per play. Artist owns 100% of the master recordings and the compositions, as well as performs their own publishing.Here are a few, each assuming the artist gets the same number of plays: It is dangerous to speculate on the “average” payout because there are hundreds of ownership cases that affect those payouts. Not just of that artist, but of their publisher and the entire streaming service as a whole. The publisher then delivers royalties to artists and songwriters it is incumbent on the publisher to figure out how to split up their lump-sum payment to individual owners, and they also take a cut for the administration service.Ĭlearly, the amount an artist makes is directly tied to each month’s performance.Each publisher (the people who represent the compositions) then gets a lump sum payout of.
