Assuming the “happy” song was 5 minutes long, 47M plays ~ 5400 months of playtime. At $10/month subscription revenue, that’s $54k. So, the artist is getting 5%

Assuming the “happy” song was 5 minutes long, 47M plays ~ 5400 months of playtime. At $10/month subscription revenue, that’s $54k. So, the artist is getting 5% of the gross revenue. Not sure how that compares with radio/ satellite royalty streams.
Edit: It was 43M plays, not 47. So, ~ 5.4% of gross revenue.
