“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more.”

Los Campesinos! break down streaming royalties. In other news, Fuck Spotify.

Following on from this, people have been asking about streaming rates compared with YouTube (worse even than Spotify!) and Qobuz (A bit more than Tidal!). Qobuz is currently the #2 highest paid streaming rate, the #1 is actually… would you believe… Peloton!

For me, streaming is a supplementary to my own music collection (Bandcamp & physical media), couldn't get on with Qobuz or Deezer, I really liked Tidal (but it has a 10k song limit) so currently use Apple Music.

@jonhicks wow, well, as a #Tidal user, that's a bit vindicating. i have always wondered whether it's *actually* significantly different from Spotify for artists, or essentially the same when the check comes. still probably the lesser evil, though?

@travisfw Yeah, I was taken aback by how much of a difference that $.01 makes!
