Streaming Dilemma

Most artists today are releasing their music on streaming services to “get noticed” and “get out there” but It may be very disappointing.  Here is the breakdown of streaming revenue assuming an average net rate of  $0.0013 per stream (typical free streaming rate on Spotify)

That’s 13 cents per 100 streams
$1.30 per thousand streams
$13 per ten-thousand streams
$130 per hundred-thousand streams
$1,300 per million streams

In comparison to downloads, CD and vinyl sales -Assuming the 2017 CRB royalty rate of 9.1 cents per song sold, a ten song EP would guarantee at least $0.91 per permanent download, CD or Vinyl record sold.  This is $910 per thousand, or $9,100 per ten thousand sold.  Returns are higher when artists sell direct to fans at shows and with our distribution network.

Winding Way Records may be able to help you really get noticed and really get out there Vs. giving all your music away for virtually no compensation.  We will work with you strategically to have a better outcome; we are Artist Advocates.
