All those pay to the rights holders. Why does no one ever question the rights holders: EMI, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group why the artists are paid pennies?
- threeseed 3y agoIt isn't just the big labels. Apple Music has a list of distributors they work with: https://artists.apple.com/partners https://artists.apple.com/partners CDBaby is popular where 91% of revenue from Apple, Spotify etc goes to the artist. So then it seems that the price per stream does make a difference.
- troupo 3y agoSpotify has the same distributors. But the absolute vast majority of money goes to the big labels.
