To be fair, that's because the label siphons the rest. Spotify pays $4 per 1000 streams.

- djxfade 2y agoWhere do you get those numbers from? I'm a self published artist. I had 150k streams on Spotify last year. I only earned roughly $450. There's no label or other middleman here taking a cut. Spotify is just cheap.
- Martinussen 2y agoIt's somewhere around $3.5/1k streams - you're not exactly super far off their estimate either, though. It varies a bit based on (listener, or artist?) regions too, I believe.
- Dylan16807 2y agoSnoop's number was $0.045 per thousand plays. ansc's number was $4 per thousand plays. Your number is $3 per thousand plays. It sounds like you basically agree with ansc. While Spotify might be cheap, that cheapness is not the problem Snoop is having.
- auggierose 2y agoThat's not too far off, is it? 150 * $4 = $600 ≈ $450.
- ssl-3 2y agoThey say: $4 / 1,000 = $0.004 per streamed track. You say: $450 / 150,000 = $0.003 per streamed track. The two sets of numbers don't seem so far apart that the discrepancy cannot be explained by rounding errors.
