8 Best Music Streaming Services (2023 Comparison)

8 Best Music Streaming Services (2023 Comparison)

#1 – Spotify Spotify is the most popular streaming service in the world—and for good reason. It might not cater to true audiophiles who demand the best possible quality, but for casual listeners, there’s still no better option. Listen, I know Spotify has taken some heat recently. But despite some well-founded criticisms (which we’ll get to), it’s still, in my opinion, the overall best music…

Big Media’s lobbyists have been running a smear campaign trying to paint the Internet Archive as a greedy big tech operation bent on stealing books—which is totally absurd. If you’ve ever used the WayBack Machine, listened to their wonderful archives of live music, or checked out one of their 37 million texts, it’s time to speak up. With publishing revenues approaching 30 billion per year in the US and monopolistic consolidation among publishing corporations, the publishing industry is incredibly powerful and moves aggressively to silence dissent.

the last ask about twitter thread just saw you also shared already, but woah the way bighit never credited jm for his melodies or background vocals... the sabotages they're doing rn.. getting jk to scooter right after jm got #1 ... damn I wonder if there's end to all this

I posted this thread about Bebe Rexha earlier today after seeing that she was having a meltdown about the music industry and was threatening to divulge their secrets. Spoiler - she didn't.

I shared this because I really want people to understand that none of the members of BTS are totally in control of their careers - especially not Jimin it seems. The similarities between Jimin and Bebe are striking.

No writing credits for songs Jimin helped compose is just so gross. It means he doesn't receive royalties from the sales, streaming, and radio play of those songs. The lack of royalties also impacts his ability to become a member of KOMCA, the Korean Music Copyright Association. RM, Suga, J-Hope, and now Jungkook are full members. Membership depends upon songwriting credit revenue and other criteria. KOMCA membership aside, by not giving Jimin proper songwriting credit, they have stolen both his creativity and his income.

Do you remember the Live that Jimin did around the time they released BE? Jimin said he wrote two songs for the album but both were rejected by the group in favor of songs written by other members. I'm sorry, but some of BTS' worst songs are on that album. The first time I heard Telepathy I thought it was a joke. Like that song is sooooo bad. How much do you want to bet the members and the company were terrified of a Filter 2.0?

I don't understand why Jimin and Jungkook are still friends. If my bestie undermined my accomplishments the way JK has to Jimin, I would gouge his eyes out. But Jimin doesn't seem to be angry so it is what it is. But I do hope this unfair treatment from Big Hit/HYBE comes to a conclusion soon, because it's miserable for his fans and a must be a million times worse for Jimin himself. I hope I live to see the day he releases his tell-all autobiography! It will be juicy for sure.

The performance of Moana 2 far surpassed the three-day debut of its predecessor, Moana (2016). Originally planned as a direct-to-Disney+ release, the strategic decision to showcase the film in theaters paid off handsomely, delivering incredible results.

Moana 2: An Epic Seafaring Adventure Continues

In Moana 2, the spirited Polynesian heroine Moana, voiced by Auli'i Cravalho, sets out on a daring oceanic quest to break a curse cast by a vengeful god.

Gladiator II Claims Third Spot

Paramount’s Gladiator II secured third place with $44 million in five-day earnings, bringing its two-week total to $111 million. Directed by Ridley Scott, the sequel introduces thrilling new elements, including sharks and baboons in the Roman arena, while showcasing performances by Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington.

Other Thanksgiving Box Office Highlights

Fourth Place: Red One (Amazon and MGM) grossed $18.7 million. Starring Dwayne Johnson, the festive comedy follows a North Pole security officer searching for a kidnapped Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons).

Fifth Place: Lionsgate’s The Best Christmas Pageant Ever earned $4.9 million with its heartwarming tale of six misbehaving siblings accidentally landing lead roles in their town’s Christmas play.

Bonhoeffer - $3.2 million

Venom: The Last Dance - $3.1 million

The Wild Robot - $1 million

Heretic - $957,000

Bye bye old BTS

This video aged so badly, ngl..

Bighit and Hybe totally went the American popstar way in 2023 for 1 member. Good that they finally cracked into the US music industry bubble. Hope it helps the group as a whole with their 2025 comeback.

(For context, the above Boracity video explains how bts has been always snubbed due to their lack of US label push, lack of radio support, lack of playlist, spotify support, minimum remixes, fewer album versions, chart rule changes etc)

The problem is - they decided as a company (and with scooter) that the only way they can make it into the US gp, was to debut a soloist, with all english tracks (because there's no way US would accept more than 1 soloist from the same korean group singing korean songs).

One thing they got right was that the US GP would not embrace a whole Asian pop group. And releasing english songs is not something BTS would keep doing either, because they clearly have different individual ambitions. When it comes to pop, it's always the solo/ individualist culture in the US. It is much easier to sell one personality than sell 7 different ones to the GP. (the General Public, not army, not people who really get INTO bts and get obsessed).

So, I totally understand why they went for mainstream US popstar way for 1 member only and also because it aligned with his own personal ambitions.

But of course they made a couple of big mistakes-

1) Underestimating the popularity and OG fan power that can give chart ranks and achievements even to non-US promoted members and their music. (BTS have done it before with a korean song and jimin did it again).

2) While they paid attention to heavy promo, charts and playlisting for Golden, they failed to create a connection with the music- which seems highly non-personal and lacking in depth and has a non-interesting concept. The promo did do the work of making jk a common name, showcasing his talents and introducing him to the industry. But for a lasting impact, they have to create better stories with the music. Idc, army are acting too defensive when people are disappointed that he didn't write his songs. It's okay to not write, but the very least singers can do is connect to song meanings and relate to personal experiences during the promos. But thanks to idol culture, jk has never been able to talk about his dating experiences. Even in the interviews, it would have been nice to see him talk about how he related to the lyrics, what the concept was etc etc.

SILVER LINING:

The constant mention of 'ARMY' by JK in all of his US promo stuff. I do see Hybe's bigger plans here. JK is a medium to bring in new fans for BTS's comeback. When they look up JK's past content, they can't do it without learning about BTS. And it doesn't matter if you are a JK solo fan, you will still be called ARMY (BTS fandom). Hybe will still call you army, even if you are just waiting for more Jungkook music and Jungkook shows. But guess what, the next time these new fans get to see Jungkook will be at a BTS CONCERT. Not a Jungkook concert.

More thoughts..

JK concert will come immediately after though. Why do you think they increased the no. of tracks in Golden when the original plan was to release a mini album? It's to collect more songs for his name. A few more releases and he'll be ready to have his own concert.

Okay final thoughts-

Hybe is going the right way from a business perspective. But they have mismanaged a lot of things. Underestimated the power of individual members and fumbled their priorities. BTS are not underdogs anymore. They are big, and whether you like it or not, Hybe is going to move like a big corporation now, revenue being top priority, not artists. If they don't strike a balance between keeping OG OT7 fans happy, the significance of ARMY will be lost. Unless...they want that to happen and do not care about the fandom that moves on its own now.

And before you camp in my asks or comments, saying the same things about sabotage, company fraud etc, I am aware of it all. Please do share your opinions that can add to this discussion.

California’s largest daily newspaper, the Los Angeles Times, announced on Tuesday that it is laying off at least 115 people -roughly a quarter of its staff- as it continues to hemorrhage money.

The layoffs were announced in a newsroom-wide email from L.A. Times president and Chief Operating Officer Chris Argentieri, according to reporter Matt Pearce.

“This total, while devastating, is nonetheless far lower than the total number of Guild layoffs initially expected last week,” Pearce posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Last Friday, members of the Los Angeles Times Guild, the union representing newspaper staffers, staged a one-day walkout to protest the anticipated job cuts.

“Slashing a quarter of the newsroom is devastating by any measure – to our members and their families, to our morale, to the quality of our journalism, to the bond with our audience, and to the communities that depend on our work,” the Guild said in a statement. “We believe our decision to go on strike saved scores of newsroom jobs today.”

Tuesday’s layoffs come after the paper slashed 74 positions in July, the union said.

In an article published in the L.A. Times on Tuesday, the newspaper’s owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, said the cuts were needed to account for losses totaling $30 million to $40 million a year due to declining subscriptions and advertising revenue.

“Today’s decision is painful for all, but it is imperative that we act urgently and take steps to build a sustainable and thriving paper for the next generation. We are committed to doing so,” Soon-Shiong said.

Among the senior editors laid off were the paper’s Washington bureau chief and deputy Washington bureau chief, its business editor and music editor.

L.A. Times video game industry reporter Sarah Parvini was also let go.

“It’s been an honor to work at the paper for nearly a decade, launching a video game beat, helping to win Pulitzers, covering diverse communities. To my colleagues, [the L.A. Times Guild], readers: Thank you,” Parvini tweeted.

Soon-Shiong and his family purchased the L.A. Times and the San Diego Union-Tribune from Tribune Publishing for $500 million in 2018.

Layoffs and buyouts have hit a wide swath of the news industry over the past year. The Washington Post, NPR, CNN and Vox Media are among the many companies hit.

An estimated 2,681 news industry jobs were lost through the end of November, according to the employment firm of Challenger, Gray and Christmas. That was more than the full years of 2022 and 2021.

Merchandising: The Beatles' brand, including merchandise like clothing, posters, and memorabilia, continues to generate significant revenue.

Concerts and Tours: Although their active touring years were relatively short, their concerts were highly lucrative. The legacy of their live performances continues to generate income through documentaries and re-releases.

Licensing and Rights: The Beatles' music has been licensed extensively for films, commercials, and other media, bringing in substantial revenue.

Cultural Impact: The Beatles' influence on popular culture and music is immense, indirectly contributing to various economic activities related to their brand.

Stan Lee:

Marvel Comics: As the co-creator of numerous iconic superheroes like Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, and the Hulk, Stan Lee's work laid the foundation for Marvel Comics, a massive entertainment empire.

Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU): The MCU, which began in 2008 with "Iron Man," has become the highest-grossing film franchise in history, generating over $28 billion at the global box office as of 2023. Stan Lee's characters are central to this success.

BMG, Beggars Group and Hipgnosis each have strong opinions on streaming. Here are those opinions.

January 21, 2021 / By Tim Ingham

(...) BMG is, obviously, a big deal in the world of music rights. The company generated over $670 million across publishing and records globally last year.

Its DCMS submission sets out a number of changes it wants to see in how the wider music industry pays out from streaming. It’s fair to say that most of them are directed at the three major music companies.

Writes BMG: “A rule of thumb is that streaming services pay around two-thirds of their revenues to the music industry for the music rights they license.

“The problem for artists is that while the recording attracts the largest share (around 80%) of the music rights pot, a traditional record deal may offer them 20% or less of that share, and 20% of 80% of 66% is 10.5%. The problem for songwriters is that while they typically have much higher [royalty rates], around 75%, that percentage is applied to the smaller share (around 20%) of the music rights pot, and 75% of 20% of 66% is 10%.”

BMG continues: “The only realistic way for artists to increase their income from streaming is for them to receive a higher share of the revenue generated by their recordings. The only realistic way for songwriters to increase their income from streaming is for them to receive a greater share of the total pot of money paid by streaming services for the music they use. Both proposals are likely to encounter significant push-back from the traditional music industry. This is understandable since achieving them would entail wholesale changes to working practices, improvements in efficiency and a more robust approach to overhead. None of this is comfortable, but we believe it is necessary.”

BMG is largely very positive about Spotify, Apple Music et al and the impact each has had on the music industry so far. It does, however, raise a couple of key concerns on recent developments regarding SPOT and its fellow platforms.

“[Some streaming services’] attempts to overturn a court-mandated increase in songwriter royalties in the US is an outrage to many songwriters,” notes BMG, which also believes the industry’s “slow progress made towards adopting user-centric licensing is disappointing”.

BMG takes particular issue with “the recent announcement by Spotify that artists may have to trade lower revenues for access to certain playlists” which BMG says “potentially sets a dangerous precedent”.

It adds: “Spotify’s November 2 announcement that it is to offer labels paid-for personalised recommendations which influence algorithmic playlists has been widely criticised by artists as a form of digital age ‘payola’. While it is too early to say whether such language is justified, any mechanism which is seen to rig the market in favour of the biggest and best-funded players will inevitably raise concerns about market manipulation.”

Summing up its position, the company writes: “BMG views artists and songwriters as our clients. Our job is to be a service provider to them. Viewing artists and songwriters as clients changes many of the historic assumptions of the music industry. Since they are clients, it is not their job to keep BMG in business; it is BMG’s job to add value to their businesses.

“Since [artists and songwriters] are the principals, they should receive the lion’s share of revenue, hence while traditional record companies pay royalties of 20% or less, our new recording deals credit recording artists with 70% of revenue or more. We don’t do this because we are do-gooders. We do it because we believe that’s the logic of the streaming revolution and the modern way to do things.”

BMG adds, with a wink and a nudge: “It is a strange business in which ‘We don’t rip off our clients’ is an attractive sales pitch, but it is an indication of how far we believe the music industry lost its way that we identified it as an area of competitive advantage from the outset.”

Exalted Saturn in First House

If Saturn is exalted in the first house. Exalted Saturn is often benevolent in the first house of the horoscope in Libra, although it can occasionally become malefic. It may occur when a malefic planet or planets, as well as a malefic horoscope as a whole, have an effect on such an exalted Saturn. The book "Match Making and Manglik Dosh" explains the idea of a benefic planet becoming malefic as a result of the influences of malefic planets.

Depending on the native's overall horoscope and running times, exalted Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in Libra, when benefic, can bless the native with favourable outcomes relating to mother, education, wealth, properties, vehicles, love life, children, creativity, health, lifespan, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition, and fame, among other favourable outcomes.

A native may receive a variety of benefits from an exalted Saturn in relation to or via his mother, offspring, and/or longevity. Depending on his total horoscope and running times, such an exalted Saturn may grant the native good health and a long life, such as beyond 70, 80, or 90. Given mother, the native's mother may be wealthy, famous, a government official or a prominent politician. The native may profit much as a result of her wealth, power, and/or prestige. When it comes to children, such an exalted Saturn might grant the native offspring who may be better or much better than normal in terms of their physical, intellectual, emotional, artistic, and/or spiritual abilities. Such children may succeed greatly in many areas of their lives, bringing the local good name and several other positive outcomes.

Depending on the native's profession, an exalted Saturn can help him or her succeed as a researcher, analyst, lawyer, astrologer, religious guru, teacher, preacher, consultant, professional working in the real estate, iron, steel, automobile, IT, health, fitness, media, finance, education, coaching, movie, television, music, sports, travel, food, hotel, airline, telecom, internet industry, or some other field.

As an illustration, let's say Venus and benefic exalted Saturn are both in the first house of a horoscope in Libra. In the first house, Saturn creates Shasha Yoga. The eleventh house of Leo contains the benevolent Sun, benefic Mars, and benefic Mercury. Rahu, Ketu, and Jupiter are all positioned in the tenth house of Cancer, the fourth house of Capricorn, and the third house of Sagittarius, respectively. The native may open a hotel in this situation, and he might see positive outcomes.

The equation may improve if the benefic Moon is positioned in Gemini's ninth house. In this situation, the native may experience a substantial degree of success, wealth, and notoriety in the hotel sector. His company may continue to expand once he becomes 35 or 40. By the time he is 55 or 60, if the finer details and running times are favourable, he may have have a billion-dollar corporate empire. His company may develop into a hotel chain with locations throughout numerous cities in his nation.

A local with an exalted Saturn may be granted authority in the government as a judge, doctor, scientist, engineer, politician, or another form of professional, as well as in the police, army, air force, navy, revenue, administrative, or foreign services.

Such an exalted Saturn can aid the native's achievement in a creative sector, such as acting, singing, playing music, writing, dancing, playing sports, becoming an artist, architect, designer, developer, or any such job. As an illustration, let's say benefic exalted Saturn creates Shasha Yoga in the first house of a Libra horoscope. Beneficial Moon is positioned in Gemini's ninth house, benefic Mercury is in Sagittarius' third house with Jupiter, benign Sun is in Capricorn's fourth house with Venus, benefic exalted Rahu is in Virgo's twelfth house, and exalted Ketu is in Pisces' sixth house. In this scenario, the local can end up being a writer. He can produce works in a variety of genres, including fiction and nonfiction.

The equation could improve if benevolent Mars is positioned with Jupiter and Mercury in the third house of Sagittarius. The native in this situation could be extraordinarily talented and experience great success, wealth, renown, and reputation. He may publish a number of best-selling books, including some biographies of the most important figures in the world. He may become one of the most well-known authors of his time and earn several accolades, including the Nobel Prize, if the finer details and the passage of time favour him. His wealth might be in the millions.

On the other hand, depending on the native's overall horoscope and running times, malefic exalted Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in Libra can cause the native problems with his or her mother, education, wealth, properties, vehicles, love life, children, health, lifespan, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition, and a variety of other issues.

The first house is where Saturn is located and it governs the fourth and fifth houses. The native may have a variety of issues relating to or via his mother, children, and/or longevity if such an exalted Saturn is impacted by malefic planets and/or an overall malefic horoscope. Considering mother, the native may not get along with her, his parents may divorce, and he may live with his father; additionally, according to the native's overall horoscope and running times, his mother may have a chronic illness, be an alcoholic or drug addict, be a criminal, or pass away before the native turns 20. The native may lose one or more children via miscarriages that his wife experiences.When it comes to offspring, the native could miscarry one or more children, which his wife might see. He could see births take longer than expected, and he might have kids who are struggling in some manner emotionally or physically. He could have a divorce, lose his kids, or see them get involved in immoral or criminal activity, leading to reputational damage and a host of other issues.

The native may experience delays, financial losses, setbacks, failures, job loss, a poor reputation, and several other issues pertaining to or brought on by his line of work. As an illustration, let's say benevolent Saturn is exalted and situated in the first house of a horoscope in Libra with benevolent retrograde Jupiter and benevolent Ketu. Malefic Rahu is positioned in the exalted Sun-ruled seventh house of Aries, Mars is positioned in the exalted Venus-ruled sixth house of Pisces, and the Moon is positioned in the exalted twelfth house of Virgo. Grahan Yoga forms in the seventh house, whereas Guru Chandal Yoga forms in the first house. Even though he may be doing well in this situation, the native may experience financial losses and professional difficulties. He might not be a parent til the age of 36.

The equation may become more problematic if weak Mercury is positioned in the sixth house of Pisces with Venus and Mars. In this situation, the native may frequently go through spells of unemployment lasting more than three months even if he may make a good living.

STUDIO PICK ⦿ UC&TS THE GREAT WAVE TAYLOR SWIFT

Call it “Swiftonomics” or “Taylornomics,” the 33-year-old American superstar is not only smashing music industry records with her Eras tour, but also boosting the economy and getting involved in new labor compensation expectations.

“She’s a very talented performer, but a smart businesswoman at the same time,” says Alicia Modestino, associate professor of public policy and urban affairs and economics at Northeastern University.

On her latest tour, Taylor Swift is tapping into the spending power of women who have experienced increased wages coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and are eager to splurge on travel and seeing their idol live. The singer-songwriter, named by Forbes the second-richest self-made woman in the U.S. music industry, will play more than 140 concerts across five continents in 2023 and 2024.

It is already obvious, however, that Swift’s tour is smashing all sorts of records, Modestino says, in terms of ticket prices, crowds of fans and revenues. 

On average, almost 54,000 fans attended each concert on the first American leg of the tour, which concluded Aug. 9 in Inglewood, California. The average ticket price fans paid on Ticketmaster was $254, while resale prices soared to thousands and tens thousands of dollars.

$140 million in consumer spending

One study estimated that two Swift’s performances in July could boost Colorado’s GDP with $140 million in consumer spending. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia stated that Swift’s tour helped stimulate travel and tourism in the region, making May the strongest month for hotel revenue in the city since the onset of the pandemic.

Chicago’s tourism and conventions bureau announced that the city set a record for occupied hotel rooms in June — nearly 97 percent — thanks in part to the three nights that Swift played at a multi-purpose stadium, Soldier Field. Cincinnati’s economy felt a boost, too, when the singer brought Eras to town. And in Las Vegas, it was Swift’s presence, not gambling, that caused the highest post-pandemic tourism spending. 

Fans have been spending more than $1,300 on average on tickets, travel and new outfits for the concert night, according to Fortune. A survey company, QuestionPro, estimated that the Eras tour could generate up to $4.6 billion in consumer spending for the U.S. economy in total.

The UK music industry experienced a major comeback in 2024, with total sales reaching £2.4 billion. This is the highest figure recorded in the past 20 years, surpassing the previous record of £2.2 billion set in 2001. The growth was driven by the rise of streaming platforms such as Spotify and Amazon Music, along with a renewed interest in vinyl records. Taylor Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department played a key role in boosting sales, as it became the year's best-selling album. While revenues are soaring, concerns remain about whether artists are receiving a fair share of the profits. A Record-Breaking Year for Music Sales The UK music industry had its most successful year in two decades, earning £2.4 billion in 2024. This figure broke the previous record of £2.2 billion set in 2001. Much of this growth was powered by streaming services such as Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music. Revenue from these platforms increased by 7.8%, contributing over £2 billion to the total sales. Credits: Wikicommons Ronald Woan from Redmond, WA, USA, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons Kim Bayley, Chief Executive of the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA), described 2024 as a “banner year” for music. She said it marked the “stunning comeback” of the industry, as sales had more than doubled since hitting a low point in 2013. Ms. Bayley confidently stated, “Music is back.” Streaming Services Lead the Charge The rise of music streaming platforms played a big part in driving sales. Many consumers now prefer to pay for subscriptions rather than buy individual albums or singles. Services like Spotify and Amazon Music allow users to access millions of songs instantly, which has changed how people listen to music. In 2024, streaming platforms earned over £2 billion, accounting for the largest share of the industry’s revenue. This trend shows no signs of slowing down, as more people switch to online platforms for their music needs. Vinyl Makes a Surprising Comeback While streaming dominated the market, traditional formats like vinyl records also made a strong comeback. Sales of vinyl albums grew by 10.5% to nearly £200 million in 2024. Vinyl records, once considered outdated, have become popular again due to their nostalgic value and physical appeal. Taylor Swift’s album The Tortured Poets Department was the year’s biggest success, with 783,000 copies sold. Of these, nearly 112,000 were vinyl records, making it the best-selling vinyl album of 2024. Although CDs did not experience the same growth, they still generated over £126 million in revenue. These figures highlight how older formats are still appreciated, even in the age of digital music. Taylor Swift’s Influence on Music Sales Taylor Swift played a significant role in boosting music sales in 2024. Her album The Tortured Poets Department became the top-selling album of the year. Swift’s worldwide Eras Tour also attracted millions of fans, creating excitement around her music. The album’s strong performance showed that physical formats like vinyl are still relevant, especially when tied to major artists. Swift’s influence extended beyond album sales, helping to keep music at the center of cultural conversations. Other Popular Songs and Artists Apart from Taylor Swift, other artists also contributed to the year’s success. Noah Kahan’s song Stick Season was the best-selling single of 2024. It sold the equivalent of 1.99 million copies, showing that new artists are also finding success in the industry. These figures highlight how music continues to attract fans of all ages, from longtime listeners to younger audiences discovering new talent. Challenges for Artists Despite Rising Revenues Even though the music industry is earning more money, there are concerns about how much of this revenue reaches artists. Many musicians rely on streaming platforms to distribute their music, but these platforms often pay royalties to record labels rather than directly to artists. image This system means artists may receive only a small percentage of the money made from their work. Critics argue that the current payment model should be updated to ensure fairer earnings for musicians. Experts have pointed out that while technology has helped the industry grow, it has also made it harder for artists to earn a stable income. Streaming services prioritize convenience for listeners, but this sometimes comes at the expense of fair compensation for performers. Comparisons with Other Entertainment Industries While music revenues rose by 7.4% in 2024, other entertainment sectors showed mixed results. Video sales grew by 6.9%, driven by subscriptions to streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. However, the gaming industry saw a 4.4% decline in revenue. This suggests that music and video services are currently more popular forms of entertainment. The biggest-selling movie of 2024 was Deadpool & Wolverine, which sold over 561,000 copies, with more than 80% sold digitally. This shift to digital formats mirrors the trends seen in the music industry. Read the full article

Spotify Royalties Demystified: Upload Your Music to Get Paid Today

The music industry has undergone a seismic shift in recent years, with streaming platforms emerging as the primary way artists share their work and earn revenue. Among these platforms, Spotify stands out as a leader, providing musicians with the opportunity to reach millions of listeners worldwide. If you're a musician, understanding Spotify royalties and how to upload your music on Spotify to get paid is essential for monetizing your passion. Whether you're an independent artist or part of a label, Spotify offers a transparent system that ensures artists receive their fair share from streams. This guide will explore everything you need to know to start earning on Spotify.

What Are Spotify Royalties and How Do They Work? Spotify royalties are payments that artists earn when their music is streamed on the platform. These royalties are generated from two primary revenue streams:

Subscription Fees: Premium users pay a monthly fee for ad-free listening. A portion of this fee contributes to royalties.

Ad Revenue: Free users listen to ads between songs, and the revenue from these ads is also shared with artists.

Spotify uses a pro-rata payment model. This means that an artist's earnings depend on the total revenue generated by Spotify and the percentage of total streams their music accounts for. While this system has sparked debates, it ensures all artists earn based on their contribution to Spotify's overall stream count.

Steps to Upload Your Music on Spotify Uploading your music on Spotify to get paid is a straightforward process, but it requires the use of a digital distributor. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Choose a Digital Distributor Spotify does not allow direct uploads by artists, so you’ll need a digital distributor like TuneCore, DistroKid, or CD Baby. These platforms handle the technical aspects of uploading music, ensuring it meets Spotify’s requirements.

2. Prepare Your Tracks Ensure your music files are of high quality. Spotify typically requires tracks in WAV format, with a minimum resolution of 16-bit/44.1 kHz.

3. Create Artwork and Metadata Your music’s presentation is crucial. Design a professional album cover that meets Spotify’s specifications (minimum size: 3000 x 3000 pixels). Additionally, provide accurate metadata, including the title, artist name, and genre.

4. Distribute Your Music Upload your tracks to your chosen distributor, and they’ll handle the submission process. The distributor will also ensure that your music is properly registered for royalties.

5. Claim Your Spotify for Artists Profile Once your music is live, claim your Spotify for Artists profile. This gives you access to tools for tracking performance, audience insights, and marketing.

Tips for Maximizing Your Spotify Income Uploading your music is just the beginning. To truly capitalize on Spotify as a revenue source, you’ll need a solid strategy.

1. Build a Loyal Listener Base Success on Spotify relies heavily on streams. Encourage your fans to follow you on Spotify and add your tracks to their playlists. Regularly engaging with your audience on social media can help you grow your listener base.

2. Create Playlists Playlists are a powerful way to gain exposure. Build your own playlists featuring your songs and other related tracks. Collaborate with other artists or influencers to get your music featured in popular playlists.

3. Release Music Consistently The Spotify algorithm favors artists who release music frequently. Plan your releases strategically to maintain listener interest and increase your chances of being featured on algorithmic playlists like Discover Weekly.

4. Use Spotify Ads Spotify offers advertising options for artists to promote their music. Sponsored tracks and in-app ads can help you reach new listeners and boost your streams.

5. Collaborate with Other Artists Collaborations not only expand your audience but also help you tap into the fanbase of your collaborators. Joint releases can lead to more streams and shared royalties.

Marketing Strategies for Independent Artists As an independent artist, you have to wear multiple hats. Marketing your music effectively on Spotify is crucial for maximizing your earnings.

1. Social Media Integration Use platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter to promote your Spotify releases. Share snippets of your songs, behind-the-scenes footage, or even personal stories related to your music.

2. Leverage Email Marketing Build an email list of your fans and keep them informed about new releases, upcoming shows, or special promotions. Include direct links to your Spotify profile in your newsletters.

3. Optimize Your Spotify Profile Your Spotify profile is your storefront. Use high-quality images, an engaging bio, and links to your website or social media to make it appealing to listeners.

4. Encourage User-Generated Content Ask your fans to create content using your music. Whether it’s a dance challenge on TikTok or fan art on Instagram, this kind of engagement can lead to increased streams and visibility.

5. Network Within the Industry Connect with other musicians, producers, and influencers. Building relationships within the music industry can open doors to collaborative opportunities and playlist placements.

Spotify Tools That Help You Earn More Spotify provides several tools designed to help artists maximize their earnings and reach.

1. Spotify for Artists This platform offers detailed insights into your audience, including demographics, listening habits, and geographical data. Use this information to tailor your marketing strategies.

2. Canvas Canvas allows you to add short looping videos to your tracks, making them more visually engaging for listeners. This can increase shares and streams.

3. Marquee Spotify’s Marquee tool lets you promote new releases to your followers through in-app notifications. While it’s a paid feature, it can significantly boost streams.

4. Fan Support Features Spotify now offers features like fan funding and merchandise integration, allowing you to earn beyond traditional royalties.

Analyzing Your Spotify Royalties Once your music is live and earning streams, it’s essential to monitor your royalties. Most digital distributors provide detailed royalty reports, breaking down your earnings by track, territory, and revenue source.

Use this data to identify your most popular songs and markets. If a particular region is streaming your music heavily, consider tailoring your marketing efforts to that audience.

Conclusion Spotify has transformed the way musicians earn, offering a platform that is accessible to all, from emerging artists to established stars. By understanding Spotify royalties and following the steps to upload your music on Spotify to get paid, you can turn your passion into a sustainable income stream.

Earning Streams of Income: Upload Your Music on Spotify to Get Paid

The music industry has evolved dramatically in recent years, giving musicians unprecedented opportunities to reach a global audience. Platforms like Spotify have become instrumental in this transformation, offering artists the ability to distribute their music worldwide while earning royalties. For aspiring and established artists alike, Spotify provides a platform to showcase talent and get compensated for it. Understanding how to leverage Spotify can make a significant difference in building a sustainable music career. This article delves into the steps involved in uploading your music on Spotify and strategies to maximize your income from the platform.

The Basics of Uploading Music on Spotify

Uploading your music to Spotify involves more than simply submitting a track. The process starts with selecting a distribution service. Spotify does not allow artists to upload music directly to the platform. Instead, you need to work with a third-party distributor like DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby. These services act as intermediaries, ensuring that your music meets Spotify’s technical requirements and is properly formatted. Choosing a reliable distributor is crucial, as they also handle royalty payments and ensure your music is available on other streaming platforms.

Once you’ve chosen a distributor, you’ll need to prepare your tracks for upload. High-quality audio is a must; poorly recorded or produced tracks can affect your credibility as an artist. Additionally, album artwork should be professional and visually appealing, as it represents your music on the platform. Metadata, including song titles, artist names, and album details, should be complete and accurate. This information not only helps listeners discover your music but also ensures proper attribution and royalty allocation.

After your music is uploaded via a distributor, the next step is to claim your Spotify for Artists profile. This tool is invaluable for musicians, offering insights into your audience demographics, streaming statistics, and playlist placements. Claiming your profile also allows you to personalize your artist page with a bio, photos, and links to your social media, creating a cohesive brand image.

Advanced Tips to Boost Your Income

To earn consistently from Spotify, it’s important to go beyond the basics and adopt advanced strategies that enhance your visibility and engagement. One of the most effective ways to maximize your income is to focus on playlist inclusion. Spotify playlists, especially curated ones, are a major driver of streams. Getting featured on a popular playlist can expose your music to thousands or even millions of listeners. Start by submitting your tracks to Spotify’s editorial playlists through the Spotify for Artists dashboard. Additionally, reach out to independent playlist curators in your genre for potential placements.

Promoting your music actively is another crucial factor in earning more from Spotify. Social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter can help you connect with your audience and drive traffic to your Spotify profile. Engage with your followers by sharing behind-the-scenes content, upcoming releases, and stories about your music journey. Email marketing is another powerful tool; a direct message to your fans about a new release or upcoming show can create a strong connection and encourage them to stream your music.

Understanding Spotify’s royalty structure is key to setting realistic income expectations. Spotify pays artists through a revenue pool system, where royalties are divided based on the total number of streams. While the exact payout per stream can vary, having a large and engaged audience can significantly increase your earnings. To achieve this, focus on building a loyal fan base by releasing music consistently and interacting with your listeners.

Another effective strategy is to collaborate with other artists. Featuring on a track with a more established musician or partnering with peers in your genre can introduce your music to a new audience. These collaborations often lead to increased streams and better visibility within the Spotify ecosystem.

Analytics play a critical role in optimizing your Spotify presence. Spotify for Artists provides data on who is listening to your music, where they are located, and how they are discovering your tracks. Use these insights to refine your marketing efforts. For example, if you notice a surge in listeners from a particular city, consider targeting ads or planning a live performance in that area.

Finally, don’t overlook the importance of engaging with your fans directly on Spotify. Encourage them to follow your profile and save your tracks to their libraries. When listeners engage with your music in these ways, Spotify’s algorithm takes notice and is more likely to recommend your tracks to others.

Uploading your music on Spotify to get paid is not just about the technical process of distribution; it’s about building a comprehensive strategy that amplifies your presence and connects you with your audience. By choosing the right distributor, optimizing your tracks, and leveraging tools like Spotify for Artists, you lay the foundation for success. At the same time, promoting your music, collaborating with others, and utilizing analytics can take your earnings to the next level. The opportunities for independent artists on Spotify are immense, and with dedication and strategic planning, you can turn your passion for music into a sustainable career.

Holiday Box Office Showdown: Mufasa and Sonic 3 Dominate as Year Ends on a High Note

It appears that the holiday box office has two standout performers this Christmas season: Mufasa: The Lion King from Disney and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 from Paramount. Both films have reasons to celebrate as the year’s box office race comes to an eventful conclusion.

Over the five-day holiday period (Wednesday through Sunday), Mufasa emerged as the leader, earning an estimated $63.8 million, slightly ahead of Sonic 3, which brought in $60.4 million. However, the story shifts when looking at the three-day weekend alone, where Sonic 3 narrowly outpaced Mufasa with $38 million versus $37.1 million.

Opening last weekend, Sonic 3 quickly became a fan favorite, surpassing $100 million domestically by Friday after pulling in $12.6 million that day. By Sunday, its domestic earnings reached $137.6 million, with an additional $74 million internationally, marking a franchise-best overseas debut and bringing its global total to $211.5 million. Paramount’s success with Sonic 3 is particularly noteworthy as the studio transitions to new leadership under David Ellison.

Meanwhile, Mufasa rebounded during the holiday week as more families attended screenings, boosting its domestic total to $113.5 million by Sunday. However, it continues to trail Sonic 3 in North America. Internationally, Mufasa excelled, leading the charts with $77.1 million this weekend and achieving a global tally of $328 million.

These two films are just part of a strong lineup contributing to a festive season for the industry. A24’s awards hopeful Babygirl, featuring Nicole Kidman, debuted with $7 million over five days, while The Brutalist, another A24 title, earned an impressive per-location average of $47,547 during its limited release.

Amazon MGM Studios’ A Fire Inside, directed by Mufasa helmer Barry Jenkins, secured a $4.3 million five-day opening. In the horror genre, Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, released by Focus Features, impressed with a $40.3 million five-day debut, including $21.2 million over the weekend, exceeding expectations and setting a record for a Christmas horror release.

Other notable performances include Searchlight Pictures’ A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet, which garnered $23.3 million in its first five days. This critically acclaimed film achieved a rare A CinemaScore and became Searchlight’s second-biggest opening ever.

Overall, the year-end has provided a boost to the box office, with the annual revenue decline narrowing significantly. Total earnings for 2023 are projected to reach $8.75 billion–$8.76 billion, a slight drop of around 3.2 percent from the previous year. This holiday success follows a strong Thanksgiving lineup, including Moana 2, Wicked, and Gladiator II, all of which continue to perform well.

Among these, Universal’s Wicked has broken records, becoming the highest-grossing stage musical adaptation globally with $634.4 million, surpassing Mamma Mia! and positioning itself as a major awards contender.
