Yeah but after splitting up the money between various parties, it's what maybe a Toyota camry each? Nothing right? I finished paying off my toyota camry a couple years ago. It took 5 freaking years.

It's a pretty hefty sum for a 3-min song.

  I don't know about profesional musician, but in the university we have a small YouTube channel about math exercises for the students. A 10 minutes video (of amateur level) involves something like: * 6 hour of preparation: We have to select the topic and the exercise. And also thinking how to split the solution in the blackboard. * 2 hours x 3 persons for recording: One person for the writing, one for the voice and me. We retake each step many times, and we discuss before and after each take. * 6 hour of editing: Fix the sound (volume, big background noise, try to fix errors). Fix the writing (typos, recolor part of the writing, move some text). Also, change the speed of some parts, because sometimes writing is boring, but remember to resynchronize the voice. (Some videos are easier and involve less time, some are more difficult and need more time to be finished.) After all the preparation and edition (I hope) it looks very natural and it's very difficult to realize how much time it involves. But it is not at all at a profesional level. So a 3 minutes song is not created in 3 minutes.

  I can write programming script that took me 3-min to write, but creates $90k worth of business value. What's your point?

You guys are missing the point. It might be the all-time highest payout from Spotify. Because of Spotify, many many people will not buy the song. So what once would have been millions of dollars in revenue is much less, and the entire music industry is splitting a rapidly shrinking pie. Yea the very very top will still make enough money to live in big houses and drive big cars, but the middling people can't live off their take. So in order to make it you have to become an international sensation.

  You're absolutely right. There's no way a regular, middling-fame performer can live off of revenue like this alone. Perhaps it might be worth considering that this signals a model that could be re-thought to the benefit of the artist?

  Most people who want to already bought the song. Then they can play their CD forever without paying another cent.
