Why did Spotify create Loud & Clear? How does this help artists?

Questions and concerns about artist income from streaming have been around for over a decade. Since we launched it in 2021, our aim with this site is to provide a valuable foundation for a constructive conversation and to provide increased levels of clarity and transparency about this topic to the artist community. In sharing more information, we aim to answer questions and share useful resources about today’s streaming industry and Spotify’s role within it. We’re currently the only streaming service that makes this level of royalty data available, and we hope others will join in the conversation as well.
