I don't understand, so Bieber made $596,000 (assuming he owned the other 80%) from this song? No way, it would seem like?

- zaroth 9y agoThere are actually a completely different set of royalties payed to the performer vs. the songwriter.
- wgj 9y agoRodney Jerkins is only one of five writers on the song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Long_as_You_Love_Me_(Justin_Bieber_song) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Long_as_You_Love_Me_(Justin... Bieber also has songwriting credit. If the royalty was divided evenly, Bieber would also get 20%. However, it isn't required to divide evenly, and songwriter royalties can be negotiated myriad different ways.
