Good morning fam! A new era in music royalties is on the horizon for 2024... Spotify is set to introduce significant changes to its royalty model by Q1 2024. The highlights? 1. A threshold for minimum annual streams before royalties kick in 2. penalties for detected streaming fraud 3. a minimum play-time for non-music tracks to earn royalties. These changes echo Universal Music Group's "artist-centric" model, emphasizing a fair reward system for genuine artists with real fan bases. Sir Lucian Grainge, UMG's boss, has been vocal about ensuring that "real artists" are justly rewarded, and it seems Spotify is listening. With this shift, the relationship between artists and fans is poised to be better aligned, promoting genuine discovery and appreciation of authentic talent. While some may see this as a bold move, it's a step towards ensuring that the music industry's heart - the artists - are at the forefront. What do you all think of this new model for royalties? Does it promise a better future for all genuine artists with actual fans? Will it kill off the "wanna-be" artists that dabble in releasing music? Curation is the future of all creative industries... I personally think all creative industries will start to follow suit. Stay informed, stay inspired, and let's continue making music that resonates. #musicroyalties #streamingroyalties #spotify

Hey Musos, We all know the thrill of creating music, but the industry we love has become a battleground. Independent musicians are struggling more than ever. A recent survey by the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) reveals that most Australian musicians earn less than $7,000 annually from their music. This grim reality has worsened since the pandemic, highlighting the lasting financial impact on our industry. Streaming services, controlled by profit-hungry moguls, pay us pennies while raking in billions. Government promises of support have proven hollow, with no significant improvement in our incomes since 2012. Live performance revenues are declining, and the digital music landscape is dominated by exploitative practices. So, what can we do? We can sit and complain, or we can unite and take action. The Pack Music Co-operative is our chance to build a fair system that values local, original, unsigned artists. You can support a platform designed by musicians, for musicians. Join our six-month fundraising campaign from June 1 to December 30, 2024. Let’s reclaim our power and show that the music community can thrive against all odds. Together, we can make a difference.

Jennifer Lopez canceled her tour. Is the concert bubble about to pop? 🫧 For quite a few years, in light of music “not selling,” abysmally low royalty payments for streaming, and general struggles of artists to turn music into money, live music has been the Holy Grail and the one Fountain of Wealth. Considering ticket prices that go into the low hundreds for *nosebleed* seats for an increasing number of events, does this mean that people have had enough and the whole system is about to implode? There’s only so much people can pay and their wallets can support—especially with the overarching cost of living crisis, where essentials become increasingly more expensive, and things like concerts are, well, an afterthought at best. If you slap $200, $300+ (or the local currency equivalent) on a single ticket, sold-out gigs can’t go on forever. It’s a finite pool of money you’re dealing with, and if someone goes to a gig like this, they’re unlikely to be able to afford another one of the same profile anytime soon—no matter how much of a superfan they are. No surprise then, that artists are increasingly more vocal about getting higher royalty payments from the music being played on streaming services like Spotify or YouTube—something needs to fill the vacuum and provide a reliable (and comparable) revenue stream. What a lot of people don’t seem to realise, however, is that any increase in royalty payments will be inexplicably linked to subscription price increases (and a lot of markets just had another one in about 12 months with Spotify!), as Spotify’s own pool they can divide is finite as well—and a price hike might drive people away from remaining on paid tiers, as there is always a tipping point.
