How much each music streaming platform pays an artist for 1 million streams

  • Can you link me to the sources for these numbers?

    The 35% (may be 30% or 40%) is set by a regulation. It was in a Gaon video about royalties but I don't recall the name.


    The 5 points (5.3 to be more exact) is from doing linear regression on the data from the Gaon Awards 2022. I didn't find anybody who recorded the data from 2023.

  • When they say" YouTube Music, the music streaming platform operated by YouTube" is this the version where people pay?


    I would imagine that what artists get paid is different from a stream on a free platform vs the premium paid platforms.

    A tonne of music blogs and industry players have tried to calculate the exact figures. According to Forbes, “for 1 million plays of a song, artists receive roughly the following payout from these streaming services: Amazon Music $5,000; Apple Music $5,000-$5,500; Google Play $12,000; Pandora $1,400; YouTube $1,700.” And Spotify? Roughly $3000-$6000 (4.5 cents per stream). Furthermore, there are a couple of streaming royalty calculators on the net that can help you gauge how much money you’re going to make from streaming.

    Both Spotify and Apple Music value a U.S. stream more than a stream coming from, say, India. This is mostly because the U.S. subscription costs $10, while the Indian one costs less than $2. When it comes to the free, ad-supported version, advertisers pay more for a Spotify US placement than a Spotify India one.

    Moreover, the listener’s subscription plan level also changes the rate per stream. E.g. Spotify pay more for a stream from a subscribed listener than a freemium level listener. It’s important to note that Apple Music does not have a free version. Therefore, Apple can pay a higher rate per stream as all users are paid users.

    Overall, for every $1 a streaming service pays in royalties, rights holders collectively earn about 73 cents, creators take a little over 25 cents and the PRO gets a little over 1 cent. Breaking that down for recorded music revenue, the artist receives about 16 cents and the label takes about 64 cents. On the publishing side, in a typical case, the songwriter and publisher each get 9.4 cents.
