We can only report what we can see: the total royalties generated on Spotify. We’d love to show you what artists actually take home, but we don’t have visibility into everyone’s individual contracts with their labels, publishers, or distributors.
So this site shows total royalties generated, both recording and publishing, for each artist’s full catalog per year.
Spotify doesn’t pay artists or songwriters directly. We pay rights holders selected by the artist or songwriter, whether that’s a record label, publisher, independent distributor, performance rights organization, or collecting society. From here, we encourage you to check out the following videos: How the Money Flows, and How the Money Flows (Publishing Edition).
