I know about this, take me back to the deal page please

Let’s break it down with an example on Spotify streaming. To the point: 

Spotify allocates about 75% of its total revenue to compensate rights holders, including songwriters, publishers, and owners of sound recordings (normally self-released artists /record labels). 

Specifically, 15.1% goes to songwriters and publishers, while 59.9% is paid to sound recording owners (normally self-released artists /record labels). 

Royalties are calculated by dividing the total revenue designated for payouts by the number of streams across the platform. This yields a per-stream rate, which is then multiplied by how many times a specific track has been played.

The resulting figure is what gets paid to the appropriate rights holders. This system is known as the "pro-rata" model.

66KHZ AUDIO TRADES IN MUSIC & HONESTY

VERY IMPORTANT: DON'T LEAVE YOUR' PUBLISHING INCOME UNCLAIMED. 

When you sign a 66Khz Record deal, we only claim the percentage of the master recording. Why? Because we are fair and understand artists' struggles, especially at the start of a career & portfolio growth. We have artists on our team, including the founder of 66Khz. 

A lot of labels out there will want your publishing/songwriter income, too! Be careful, and be sure the deal is right for you when checking, even better seek legal advice. If you don't have a publisher/someone claiming the publishing revenue, then if you want the extra income stream, you should consider:  

Registering your 'works' with your LOCAL PRO (Performing Rights Organisation). They will claim the money on your behalf. In the UK, it's called PRS; each country will normally have a PRO. Look it up on the internet and look at the registration process, and consider any fees they may charge before making a choice. 

We hope this helps! Back to the distribution & get signed page.
