UMG hasn’t been able to come to a new agreement with TikTok and they are now threatening to pull the music of all their artists from TikTok after today when the current deal empires. It will affect artists signed to UMG record labels (Niall, Liam, Zayn) as well as artists with a UMPG publishing deal (Harry, Niall).

Niall said: “It’s my absolute pleasure to sign with UMPG. I have known Mike personally for many years and I’m so happy that I get to work with a man who firstly genuinely cares about artistry and the art of writing a song, and secondly knows the world of publishing like no other. To have met the great Jody Gerson who I’ve known of throughout my career as being a badass publisher and when I felt the love from her and Mike, I wasn’t going anywhere else to be honest.”

Niall’s new album The Show, featuring co-writes from UMPG songwriters @jimmynapes and @tobiasjessojr, landed at No.1 on the UK albums chart last week. ✨

Universal Music Publishing Group songs are now being removed from TikTok.

As previously reported, the publisher’s controlled compositions were always set to join the removal of recordings of Universal Music Group by the end of February.

The major has been embroiled in a war of words with TikTok, as they failed to reach a new licensing agreement.

A note on the streaming revenue conversation you were having.

Spotify doesn’t pay the same across the board it depends on a lot of factors and it works against artists like Louis, who proportionally get paid less.

Spotify pays a percentage of their net revenue (so the money they make after paying for their expenses). I don’t think the exact percentage of net revenue they pay is known but I heard it’s about 50%.

Q1 revenue for Spotify was €3B. I have no way of knowing what the net revenue is, so I’m just gonna run with €3B, but it’s significantly less than that. So 50% is €1.5B.

Off that, they have two types of royalties.

1. Recording Royalties.

2. Publishing royalties.

1. Recording Royalties are distributed to the “rightsholders” depending on what % of total streams their activity represents. Rightsholders = label or distributor. In Louis’ case, BMG is licensed for FITF, so them. In Harry’s case, Columbia.

Rightsholders then have individual agreements with each artist. Harry’s agreement with Columbia will be incredibly favorable for him because of the circumstances in which he signed his contract. Louis… idk! Also, Columbia has a HUGE percentage of the total share of streams because, well, it’s Columbia. In comparison, BMG gets a minuscule payout.

2. Publishing royalties. Once again, the money is distributed to the rightsholders, but in this case it’s the artist’s PRO + publisher. Harry is with UMPG and Global Music Rights, Louis is with PRS. There’s the publishing rights, and the mechanical rights, and the companies get a cut.

Then the artist often has a deal with their management company where they get a % of their revenue, calculated after everything is said and done. Harry owns a percentage of his management company.

BUT there’s more, what we have to keep in mind is that Spotify net revenue isn’t generated equally. Subscription pays more than ads, and that’s one avenue in which artist’s streams can pay more or less. A lot of Louis’ streams (at least for the first week of FITF) come from fans who create accounts on Spotify to inflate his numbers, those accounts are always free. That significantly lowers his income.

And lastly, Spotify doesn’t make the same amount of money for US streams than streams in Latin America. I’m Latina, that’s why I know I pay a lot less for my subscription than people in America or Europe.

I’m from Peru, here, 1 month premium coats S/ 29.90, which is around U$D 8.17. The same premium account in America costs $9.99.

This is a breakdown of Louis’ main cities and how much they pay for Spotify in dollars:

Jakarta - U$D 3.39

Mexico City - U$S 6.53

London - U$D 12.43

Santiago - U$D 5.28

Lima - U$D 8.17

São Paulo - U$D 4.06

Buenos Aires - U$D 1.74

Melbourne - U$D 8

Delhi - U$D 1.44

Mumbai - U$D 1.44

Kuala Lumpur - U$D 3.32

Monterrey - U$D 6.53

Bandung - U$D 3.39

Quezon City - U$D 2.31

Guadalajara - U$D 6.53

Average: U$D 4.97

This is Harry:

London - U$D 12.43

Mexico City - U$D 6.53

Jakarta - U$D 3.39

São Paulo - U$D 4.06

Sydney - U$D 8

Santiago - U$D 5.28

Melbourne - U$D 8

Los Angeles - U$D 9.99

Lima - U$D 8.17

Quezon City - U$D 2.17

Chicago - U$S 9.99

Paris - U$D 10.85

New York City - U$D 9.99

Toronto - U$D 7.37

Delhi - U$D 1.44

Average: U$D 7.18. That’s nearly 45% more, just FYI.

This also applies to ads, of course. It’s a lot more expensive to place ads on Spotify in the US or the UK than doing so in Latin America.

So, Harry makes more money because:

He has a better arrangement with his rightholders

Owns a percentage of his management company

His rightholders have a higher percentage of total streams on the platform

Has vastly more streams

Is streamed in countries that make more revenue

Also, he likely has a higher % of rights on his songs. There’s songs where Louis admits he barely tweaked them. Harry has the highest percentage of ownership in all of his songs of all the collaborators (whether it’s shared or alone). PLUS Harry works with a tight knit group of people who are friends with him.

TL;DR Harry made more money in streaming off Satellite than Louis off FITF

Thanks for this - very interesting and educational.

Louis has no top cities in the US or Europe so it's no wonder he's finding it hard to sell tour dates there. He should be prioritising Latam, India and Indonesia.

In addition to her label deal with Republic Records, Swift has been signed to Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) as a songwriter since 2020; previously, she was signed to Sony Music Publishing as a songwriter.

can you explain this to me why is she signed to republic records and umpg as a songwriter?

I guess they offered her a better deal for songwriting! I’m not entirely sure how it works!
