1] How much does Streaming pay?

The actual amount you get paid per stream will vary greatly depending on the Streaming service, whether the listener who streamed the song was a

paid subscriber or a free subscriber, any agreements in place between the Streaming service and Record Labels that may affect the payout pool, the

country the listener was from, and most importantly, the amount of the payout pool compared to the the total number of streams on the particular

streaming platform.

According to Spotify, "Spotify, like every major streaming service, pays royalties based on an artist’s or songwriter’s share of overall streams across

the platform — not based on a fixed per-stream rate. We pay rightsholders based on streamshare — their share of total streams in a given month. E.g.,

if an artist accounts for 1% of all streams in a particular country, their selected rightsholder(s) receive 1% of the recording royalties we pay there.

When you place your music with a distributor, they will submit it to all the music streaming companies that they deal with, not just Spotify and Apple.

All the Streaming companies have their own , different pay structures. To look at an individual pay per stream across all the different streamers, it

won't tell you very much, because of all the wild cards in all the different formulas.

As a rough ballpark across all the streaming companies, you are probably looking at $100. to $1,000. per 100,000 streams, or $1,000. to $10,000.

per million streams. I would guestimate $2,500 to $3,500. per one million streams for the average artist.

2] Can you make a Million dollars from streaming your music?

To make a million dollars you would need to get roughly 100 million to 1 billion streams. Only the top artists and supergroups are pulling in those

streams. Apparently there are over 1,000 songs that have hit the billion mark across the streaming platforms.

3] How do you get your music on Streaming Services?

Also known as digital music aggregators, song aggregators, digital aggregators, music aggregators, digital

distribution aggregator or just aggregator.

What is a digital music distributor or aggregator?

An Aggregator is basically a Music Distribution company that will take your songs and make them available for people to play them on streaming

and download sites around the world. Sites like Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, YouTube, Google Play, Pandora, Tidal, Amazon, Deezer and hundreds

of other music websites. They will collect any royalties or payments due to you by those sites for people playing or downloading (purchasing)

your songs and pay them to you.

How much do they charge you for their Digital Music Distribution service?

Unlike most types of businesses where the costs are easy to compare, aggregators are not so easy to compare. They are very creative in their

pricing structures and how they differentiate themselves from their competitors. Some charge a one time fee per submission only, some a fee and a

percentage of your sales, some a yearly fee and no submission fee, some a yearly fee, no submission fee and no percentage, some charge a

percentage only, some charge a fee per store and lots of other pricing structures. And if that is not confusing enough, the fees and percentages

are all different. Not knowing how many streams or downloads you will get makes it very difficult to calculate what the total fees would be under

each price structure and to be able to compare them. We list the fees for each aggregator below. Check the website of any of the ones you are

interested in, to see if there have been any changes in price or service.

How do you decide on which music aggregator?

As far as we can tell, we don't think you would be too wrong in picking any of them. You can always change later on if you don't like the one you

chose, although a change may incur additional fees for new bar codes, non refundable fees etc. Look closely at the details of each. Will they get

you on the major streaming sites such as those listed above? Some offer other services which might interest you such as physical distribution of

your CD or vinyl record album, promotional services, physical manufacturing of your CD, sync licensing, a storefront for people to find and

preview your songs and other various services. Although most of those services you can obtain elsewhere on your own.

This list is continually being added to and updated. We are giving point form details on each for their basic plan for a single or album to get

your music out there. Some of them have extremely complicated or confusing multiple price offerings. Here we are trying to compare the key

factors, submission price, annual fee, percentage of royalties they take to release a single or album and number of stores they are in, to give

some kind of an even field to compare the starting price of the various distributors. The figures are taken directly from each aggregator's own

website.

We just updated this list, and it changed quite a bit. Follow the website link to the distributors you are interested in for the latest pricing.

There are quite a few that have been removed since our last update, for they are not showing their prices any longer.

Here they are in alphabetical order.
