His Spotify Artist page lists ~70k plays a month, so he's just slightly over $1/1000 plays.
I suppose this is peanuts compared to what a radio play is, etc. but strikes me as fairly reasonable?
- monocasa 6y agoRadios don't have to pay anything unless they're an internet stream
- michaelbuckbee 6y agoI believe that over the air and internet streams are paid out separately. Over the air looks to play 12c to 6c per play https://www.quora.com/How-much-are-music-artists-paid-in-Royalties-for-each-song-played-on-radio https://www.quora.com/How-much-are-music-artists-paid-in-Roy...

- satyrnein 6y agoUS terrestrial radio only pays out to the composition side (whoever wrote the song) and not to the master side (who performed and recorded the song). Internet and satellite radio pay both sides. Non-interactive radio uses rates set by statute across the board; this is all separate from on-demand streaming like Spotify.
- josefresco 6y agoDo traditional radio stations pay per track play? I'm unfamiliar with the business.
- dataqat 6y agoKeep in mind a single play on a radio station is more like 10,000 plays on Spotify. It's 1-to-many vs. 1-to-1.
- NohatCoder 6y agoActually that makes it slightly more than $1/100 plays.
