Spotify Myth 2

Myth 2: A stream pays an artist $0.006

Not completely true. Not every stream pays the same rate.

For example, some people use Spotify for free and hear ads between songs. I’m assuming those types of streams don’t pay the same rate as other uses who pay the monthly or annual fee.

Also, a partial listen doesn’t pay the same rate. I’m guessing that one account streaming one song multiple times in a row doesn’t pay the same rate. So it gets tricky.

Here are some examples of Spotify stream pay rates I received for my song “Reaching Back”:

$0.00618899

$0.00095843

$0.00104792
