. Folks need to treat the game to Bandcamp and get that UPS gig, because if The Boss is selling his catalog, we are all fukked when it comes down to a good retire and investment.
Touring won’t be back in full scale for years to come. A lot more artist will cash out on their music.People literally brag about not buying music.. touring money is drying up.. streaming ain’t paying them like that. Why be surprised by this? He’s just cashing out now
How do you see the Spotify dashboard?
Also, might not be 2 million per month based on Spotify’s market share (I believe they are the biggest). We just don’t have enough information to drill down to numbers like that. I appreciate what you’re doing though
shyt even michael jackson was only getting $2 per album sold for Thriller.... that was one of the highest in music at that time.
That was $4 in 2020.
Streaming rates be bullshyt like $0.2625 which O don't even know wtf that means...like barely 30cent?
Streaming industry/360 deals making these record label ceos and bosses way more money
From understanding these companies buying the music have a system in place to where they know how to get placements for the music.
In the future would you want to leave that job for your kids?
How much money would John Legend music really make 20-30-50 years down the line?
These artists are privy to information the general public is not....it clearly makes sense to them to take that upfront cash.
This.
It does kinda suck when you see we don't own any of the great "institutions" like Motwown, Def Jam etc. But generally the industry has consolidated so I guess it isn't fair to hold that against people.
