We’re an Indie Label. And This Is What Spotify, YouTube, Beats, Rdio, and Google Are Paying Us…

This is from a smaller indie label, based in the United States, with global streaming distribution through a major digital distributor.  This is what they got paid on average, per-stream, from all of their streaming partners between October 1st and December 31st of last year.  These are just the numbers from a spreadsheet for one label for a specific pay period.

We’ve ranked it from best to worst.  This is before they paid their artists.  Here’s what it looks like graphed out.

A few notes.  YouTube appears to include some heavy payouts from YouTube Music Key, the beta-launched premium service.  Beats, Cricket, and MySpace are US-only.  ‘Microsoft Zune Music’ is exactly what appeared in the statement and is North American only (no idea beyond that).  KKbox is Taiwan-only; Deezer is in most countries but not the US.  All others are in multiple countries.

Iggy Azalea: “The Internet Is the Ugliest Reflection of Mankind There Is”

I for one will miss Iggy Azalea on social media. Those in the public eye, especially opinionated women, get a lot of shit online. Iggy has always called out publications, artists, and abusive internet users out on their sexism and double standards, and I found it to be very refreshing.
