So, not exactly to the artists. I get the impression you seem to know quite a lot about the deal, can you try to analyze how this 70% gets divided?

    It's net revenue split to rights holders according to the share of streams. If you have 1% of all streams on Spotify in a given time period, you get 0.7% of net revenue for that period.

    How the rights holders distribute the money onward to the artists is not exactly transparent though.

    I suspected that much, it must be a complicated matter with many different cases, considering how music is produced. Thank you for your insight.
