We just published an interesting article about some changes that will affect the music industry, specifically the royalty system in Spotify!
If you are curious, have a read here:
Spotify has not made any public announcement yet but perhaps some of you got notified of the price change of the Premium sub already! As artists, labels and distributor, we are all waiting for further news and our eyes/ears are wide open!
Thanks @Melani ! thanks a lot!!!
what I don’t get is the intention behind this, I mean, point 1, but this should be true also for point 3, spotify won’t save a cent, the money will just be distributed differently… point 2, what is meant by the distributer will be penalized? in our case, would this be iMusician, which would make no sense, right?, or the artist?, who, if he didn’t ask for a bot-army to stream his songs, would be a victim too… for what regards the third one, okay they’ll change the model, someone who wants to get just money out of it will just adapt to the new model… but let’s see what will happen
yes it’s about indie if I was spotify I would have done the opposite, reducing the ammount of money you get when you go over a certain threshhold of streams and redistribute it to whom is under
Good morning all, I’m trying to find the positive side of this change and what it seems is that “there will be more space for a better/good quality content”. Well, Youtube adopted the threshold strategy long time, so let’s see how it will work within Spotify.
I’m sure that for indie artists with good intentions, genuine dedication and with an organic approach to success, nothing will change! So you/we keep up
