Display MoreI don't know about the specific structure of the deal they have with Pdogg.
I was saying in general, even with streams, albums - the producing song writer gets more percentage points of the sale, than just performers
And as well with royalties.
It would vary from producer to producer song to song.
But the premise of the post that since producer earned X amount, therefore artist would have earned more, is counter factual.
It would be the other way around - if purely talking music,
Not Ad revenue, stock valuation etc.
It doesn't work like that tho. BTS are the best selling artists in the world with estimated of 16M-17M units sold last year. They sell albums like it's nothing. Even without the usual album release, they still sold over 8M albums in pure sales with their Japanese release. Producers earn money through royalties plus either a flat fee or a percentage of 15%-20% in artists shares. This is how it works in the music industry.
For example; Let's say BTS albums (pure sales) generated 140M USD last year. After taking the manufacture expenses and distribution cut, HYBE made a profit of 50% = then they made 70M USD in profits. That profit would then be divided into BTS and HYBE accordingly to their contract. Let's say it's a 50-50 cut, at the very least. BTS made 35M USD and 15%-20% of that goes to producers. But since it's an album, and Pdogg doesn't produced everything, he would have to share it with other producers. That's how it works. Not to mention, BTS also gets their own performing royalty and a cut from record royalty itself that Hybe receives from KOMCA. People don't understand that royalties and earnings from music sales are so broad and it adds up especially if an artist is selling like BTS. I'm pretty sure they have made their own agreements with HYBE/CR/UMG and the people who works in their music about the terms of their royalties shares. It was pretty known that big artists do this.
It works differently in digitals tho, producers and writers are paid directly through KOMCA (Korea) with their contributions per song. That's what the public know, but what most people don't know is the traditional sales (the one I explained above).
Anyways, it's not like Pdogg is Max Martin. Outside his work with BTS, all his songs flopped. And I can't with y'all people who thinks he's all that, when he only got lucky that BTS is freaking big with a huge fandom streaming all their earlier discography. BTS' biggest hits didn't even came from Pdogg except Spring Day. The money he got was from his stocks options. He even got lucky cause he was given the options in 2016, where Bang wouldn't have imagined that his company will be valued in billions of dollars today. Otherwise, he'll only get like maybe 30k to 50k shares.
