Spotify’s system of handing out royalties doesn’t work on an arbitrary set rate based purely on how many streams artists receive.
Now, that's not to say that calculating a pay-per-stream amount is a completely useless endeavour it can be useful to work out and look at these numbers as a guide to roughly how much money an artist earns (potentially) from a given number of streams.īut since there are so many factors that determine exactly how people listening translates to how much an artist makes on their songs, the actual amount artists are paid based on a single stream is highly variable.Īs such, most artists won't find an arbitrary pay-per-stream estimation a useful figure for working out their streaming income. Someone born in 1995 will be delighted to find Tegan and Sara’s “Where Does The Good Go,” Justin Timberlake’s “Senorita,” Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” and Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles,” among others like The Fray, Train, Coldplay and The Click Five.It’s highly likely that you’ll have heard talk of how much Spotify ‘pays per stream’ - quite possibly alongside a critique of how low that amount appears to be.Īnd while headlines about fractional per-stream amounts are a good way to stir up public interest in how little artists are generally getting paid for their music on streaming services, the truth of how much artists are paid for their streams is slightly more complex than a given number. The birth year 1985 brings on Backstreet’s “No Diggity,” Missy Elliott’s “Hot Boyz,” Usher’s “My Way,” and Lil’ Kim’s “Crush on You” with some Destiny’s Child, Eve and Ryan Adams to get you in the mood too.Ī person born in 1991 has a playlist that includes Nelly’s “Ride Wit Me,” Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten,” “One, Two Step” by Ciara, “Promiscuous” by Nelly Furtado and Jennifer Lopez’s famed “Jenny From the Block.”
Kelly’s “Bump n’ Grind.” Sade, Janet Jackson and Nirvana also round out a current 37 year-old’s Time Capsule. When you sign up for Spotify, it asks for your date of birth for a variety of reason, but one being that it can now uncover hits from your awkward years - so you can reminisce the era of your first kiss, of using the anti-skip buffer button on your Sony Discman or of the tunes you played when you got your first set of wheels.īy using your birthdate to curate a one-of-a-kind collection of songs, the streaming service searches its database of millions of songs to find chart-toppers and iconic throwbacks designed to make you yearn for your younger years.įor someone born in 1980, a playlist opens with Snoop Dogg’s “Lodi Dodi” and includes 54 other notable hits like Ghostface Killah’s “Cherchez LaGhost,” “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys and R.
