Never paid attention to her until I heard she was putting out an album with Reznor. Very interested to hear the album- the song I heard was really good; sounded like nine inch nails with a female singer.

I saw that. I'm starting to wonder how musicians make money if they're releasing music on youtube for free.
i hear ya. i use youtube for music for free. but i think the vast majority of people still use pandora, spotify, apple music etc

so the artists get their licensing fees there

plus the ad revenue from youtube

Hm. Interesting. I assume most artists make their money from touring if they don't own the music rights, but I'd love to know more. Is Spotify revenue like per play? Or do they pay a flat rate for the music for a certain amount of time..?

i have no idea. depends on the artists probably. some sell out huge stadiums. some small stadiums. some ballrooms and some small venues like "webster hall"

also, organic youtuber famous people like lindsey sterling own their youtube probably whereas many may splot with record label and/or vevo (whatever vevo is)

havent watched yet. but heres an interview on her new album

(the similar type interview from her last album is how i learned that halsey is an anagram for her real name - ashley. and how the album was a nod to her being bi-polar. and also how she was crushed when her doctor told her that she would not be able to have children)

Spotify pays a display fee sort of like a television channel paying to show a movie. They pay about four tenths of a cent per stream. Most of that revenue goes to the rights holders (the label) and distributor and then the artist gets whatever cut they have in royalties, usually anywhere between 10 and 25% depending on their deal. So it takes millions of streams to even make 1k.
