Labels negotiate their own deals. Lots more than the songwriter, which makes sense to most people since they pay for musicians, recording studios, advertising, and bunch of other stuff for the song plus all the other songs that didn’t turn out to be the popular song.
- NotSammyHagar 9y agowow, that feels very unfair. most artists feel like the labels have shafted the artists, among other things making very very unfair contracts to the artists when digital and streaming came along. I think that's an opinion that only looks fair to the labels. The labels also do things to suppress competition, and their very opaque contracts only benefit themselves. Clearly the millions of streams should result in more money than less than $300 for 38 million streams? And I'm not an artist, just another programmer. :-)
