An Empirical Analysis of Music Streaming Revenues and Their Distribution

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

This report was commissioned by the Music Creators’ Earnings Project to provide an empirical analysis of music streaming revenues in the UK.

It showed that:

total market growth often hides flat or declining individual earnings,
exchange rate effects played a major role in sustaining incomes during 2015–2019,
and current remuneration schemes and pro-rata distribution systems do not adequately reflect the value of music for most rightsholders.

The study argued for international data harmonisation, better survey methods, and policy coordination to make earnings more transparent and equitable.
