Here's How Artists ACTUALLY Get Paid By Spotify

The amount of money artists get paid for their streams is a very controversial topic. Services like Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music don't seem to pay very much money for streams - but the payment system is quite complicated. In this video I've broken it down into simpler terms.

Make sense why I didn’t make what I expected from the amount of streams I got in February. Thanks for explaining this

Thanks man, I am 47 and just been studying music marketing for the past year intensively. It seems very difficult to get paid if you are an artist starting out.

I've been finding in two years how to earn in spotify and finally i watched this video and now i got the answer all the questions in my mind.
I saved this video and i'm your new subscriber in YOUTUBE.
Hopefully do more videos how to earn in other digital music platform it's really big help to the people had no ideas about how we paid in their own uploaded music.

I basically spent the last hour reading and multiple articles and doing my own calculations to estimate how much money these streaming services are making. You’ve done all that in less than 6 mins. I feel bad for myself. Next time, I will checkout your channel first

Great video, but I gotta say 4:33 was hilarious to me: thinking of anyone listening to only 50 Cent, Ariana Grande & Taylor Swift for a whole month 😂😂😂

Is this world wide streaming or only according to the percentage of your country’s streaming?

[orangepeel]

in the old days ppl brought the artists music and ppl from top to bottom Got good money ...now a days with half the country broke and struggling its not easy to make money as a artist unless your touring and selling merchandise .. sad part is thats why so many do illegal shit to make ends meet because record companies are very greedy and have artists who lack buiisness sense sign a 360 deal and end up with their master recordings being owned by the labels and shady businesses exploiting these young nonthinkers ...today one does not need a label to make money thank GOD .. they have learned to make connections and money by other means ... be smart and pay attention

Deezer's way makes a lot of sense

[ggoohhnnjjaalltt]

Great explanation, but what a sham for independent artists and labels.

[kirilvelinov]

That's crazy!
A 19 year old has more streams than Tayflop Swift?

[furrycheetah]

YouTube Music is much better than Spotify and apple especially sound quality eventhough it is a bit expensive but I am happy with it.

What does stream mean in terms of song duration? If the track is 5 minutes and i listened 1 minute, does it count to be paid?

[ਸ਼ੀਵੇਓਏ]

My songs has 30k plays on distribute my song with united But i dont any RECIVE money or anything eles

[ashtontk-rwmo]

Songwriters and producers don't get paid at all from streaming.

[rriqueno]

Streaming (Spotify) is killing its own product. Music.

[siskavard]

Oh ok, so theyre ripping artists off, got it.
