Support independent artists by streaming their songs as often as possible! Our Artist of the Week Spotify playlist is a good starting point.
Streaming Revenues
While we mostly select tracks from SoundCloud for our Soundposters, there is a good reason for maintaining a Spotify Playlist: Streaming Revenues. Sure, Spotify is by far not the best paying streaming platform, but with its over 140 million users the biggest after YouTube.
With data collected from several sources, we have put together a comparison:
Service | Artist Revenue per 1000 plays |
Total Users |
---|---|---|
Napster | $ 16.70 | 5,000,000 |
Tidal | $ 11.00 | 4,000,000 |
Apple Music | $ 6.40 | 27,000,000 |
Google Play | $ 5.90 | 10,000,000 |
Deezer | $ 5.60 | 16,000,000 |
Spotify | $ 3.80 | 140,000,000 |
Pandora | $ 1.10 | 81,000,000 |
