Others like CD Baby, Stem, AWAL, Symphonic keep a small commission between 9-15%. Major labels typically KEEP 82% – and of course only pay out their artists after they recoup their advance/expenses (which almost never happens).īut the self-released artists get to keep either all or most of their money.ĭistroKid, Tunecore, Amuse all allow you to keep 100% of your master royalties. Indie labels typically offer a 50/50 split. When it comes to label artists, we don’t actually know what the artist’s take-home amount is. In short, this is the number Spotify paid out for the artists’ work. Now to be clear, these figures are actually the number of artists whose catalogs generated both recording and publishing royalties. So when Spotify says 52,600 artists made at least $10,000, previously we didn’t know how many of them were with labels or not.
My biggest gripe with the 2020 Spotify report was that it didn’t separate the label artists from the self-released artists. Let’s unpack some of these revelations, shall we? 15,140 self-released artists made at least $10,000 from Spotify in 2021 And it seems, at least from the data, that streaming is helping in this pursuit. I think we can all agree that all we want is for artists and songwriters to have successful, long-term careers.
