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

Questions and concerns about artist streaming income have been around for over a decade. Since launching Loud & Clear in 2021, we’ve aimed to bring clarity and transparency around this topic to the artist community.  This site is intended to answer key questions, share useful resources, and foster constructive conversations about the music streaming economy and Spotify’s role in it. We’re currently the only streaming service that shares this level of royalty data, and we hope others will join the conversation as well.
