And how much of that hypothetical $13 Trillion would be shared the poor, poor artists?

  • When this whole thing with Lily Allen was a thing, where she got more from posting feet pic on OnlyFans than from Spotify, someone posted an article that said Spotify is paying out like 150k-200k per month just for her streams. And yet only a tiny fraction of that ends up with her. Music labels fucking suck.

    There are 15.43 million artist on spotify, so they'd get about $836,000 each.

    Less Spotify's share, and the record label's share, and the lawyer's share.....and of course they'd give the artists with the most streams a bigger share (they're the ones with the labels who get a big cut).

    So about tree fiddy.
