How Are Streaming Royalties Generated?

Streaming royalties are derived from user subscriptions and ad revenues on music platforms.

The amount an artist receives depends on a revenue distribution process that varies across platforms, accounting for numerous factors. Here are the key steps:

Total Revenue

Platforms collect revenue through subscriptions and advertising.

Platform Fees

A portion is retained to cover operational costs and ensure protability.

Revenue Pools Creation

Remaining revenue is gathered into monthly “pools.”
Artists are allocated into different pools based on metrics like the number of streams, geographic location, and other factors.

Revenue Distribution

Each artist receives a share proportional to their streams. For instance, in a $10,000 pool, an artist who generated 5% of the streams would receive $500.
Stream rates are calculated this way, which is why per-stream payouts uctuate.

Factors Affecting the Final Amount

Geographic Region

Streams from certain regions pay more due to higher subscription fees and advertising rates

Subscription Type

Paid subscriptions generate higher royalties than free listens, which rely on advertising.

Once we receive the royalties from the platform, we commit to paying our clients around the 15th of the following month, ensuring a regular payment cadence

Example for January:

Suppose you achieve 100,000 streams on YouTube between January 1st and 31st.
Based on the estimated timelines, we would receive the royalties for these streams between the end of February and the beginning of March.
We then proceed with payment to your account no later than around March 15th.
