FILE- This March 20, 2018 file photo shows the Spotify app on an iPad in Baltimore. – Every day, millions of people use Spotify to stream music. A few years ago, it would've felt like an impossibility: Click, and bam — a seemingly endless catalog of recorded music opens up, right at your fingertips.now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — a whopping 84% in the United States, according to the RIAA, and 67.
Liz Pelly, a journalist whose first book, “Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist,” will be published in 2025, says the streamshare system has been criticized for “benefitting the artists who generate the most streams” and “the major labels who already have, like, so much market share.”
Pelly says artists deduce they make “penny fractions” in royalties by looking at their statements. “And that is meaningful.” And many musicians do not make music in ways that are"specifically tailored to the way in which streaming services generate money... The system is set up to reward artists that generate massive numbers of streams.”
“There was an increasing amount of uploaders that had $0.03, $0.08, $0.36 sitting there,” he said. “All those pennies sitting in bank accounts all over the place was siphoning money away from artists that were really doing this, as an aspiring professional.”In May, Spotify announced it would add audiobooks into its premium subscriptions, resulting in a lower royalty rate for U.S. songwriters, according tothat songwriters and publishers will earn $150 million less in U.S.
