Why Spotify Royalties Are Greater Than Radio Royalties
Something to think about as Better Than I Know Myself is released
Quote :
Because of its large audience, radio is a more valuable revenue stream than on-demand subscription services. But when compared a revenue-per-listen basis, Spotify royalties exceed those paid by terrestrial radio in the U.S. and the U.K. That's the conclusion of David Touve, an Assistant Professor of Business at Washington & Lee University who has long studied the music industry.
Per-listener, a spin on terrestrial radio ranges from $0.000186 to $0.000372 in the U.S. and from £0.000299 to £0.000498 in the U.K. ($0.0004 to $0.0007 at current currency rates), according to Touve's calculations. To arrive at these numbers Touve used publicly available financial and listening data. He incorporated many assumptions and needed to make one educated guess (the annual revenue of SESAC). His estimates cover a range of audience sizes for any given quarter hour as well as songs played per hours by radio stations. Note the U.K. figure includes both copyrights. In the U.S. only music publishers receive performance royalties for terrestrial radio.
