      It strange you think you are smart with that comment. It is never stated that money is in direct proportion to the number of streams through the whole scale. Even though it started like that, what if at a certain number of streams, the money starts increasing by a different ratio. It is possible that other variables could come into play the more streams you get.
      So unless you are told that the streams are directly proportional to the money through out the whole scale, you cannot be sure.

    For an artist, the bigger value in Spotify isn’t the money per stream. It’s the exposure of getting new fans to listen to your music. Spotify does an incredible job of putting unknown artists in front of probable new fans. I can’t even tell you how many unknown artists I’ve discovered because Spotify put them in my daily playlists or my discover weekly playlists. And several of those artists got my money through concert tickets and merch after I discovered them. So yeah a small band maybe made $0.50 off me from streams, but add the concert ticket and a shirt that would be a super unlikely purchase without Spotify and now you’re turning bigger profits per fan.

      @LovelyLittleLillies Рік тому

      Songs on an album don't get equal listens - this goes as far as the era of selling CDs. Only the catchiest of songs get a repeat, fans will have their faves that they replay while others are a skip. And your record has to hold a fan's attention span for repeated listens or the relistens wear off on a scale/graph. Few artists can make cohesive albums where majority of songs are liked by the fan for them to listen to majority of the songs. On platforms like Spotify, after first exposure it's only the title tracks that rack up large streaming numbers. And people like variety instead of listening to just one artist, so your song is in a playlist along with hundred others. Gl getting repeated streams by one person.
