- nickthegreek 3y agoThe amount of artists who aren’t on Labels and will still get paid under Spotify’s new rules is surprisingly small. It appears to be possibly be under 30%. So I do find it disingenuous to pretend like these artists are making a living off of Spotify royalties. Here is example of how much labels music are in the big playlists several years ago. I can’t find anything from last year though. But we do know that payments are about to get a lot worse for smaller artists. https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2022/05/major-labels-control-70-87-of-tracks-on-major-spotify-playlists.html https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2022/05/major-labels-control...
