The Hard Truth: Artists Earning Mere Pennies in the Streaming Age

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Contemporary streaming platforms have undeniably propelled music into unprecedented levels of popularity and accessibility. While this surge in consumer support has significantly benefited us, it prompts a critical question: how do artists perceive this shift?

Just a little more than a decade ago, musicians primarily relied on album sales for their income. However, the landscape has transformed, and artists now earn a mere $0.006 per stream. Consequently, the primary revenue stream for artists has shifted towards touring and merchandise, overshadowing the traditional model of music consumption.
