We’ve all heard the stories about fake artists on Spotify and other streaming services, and every time a crackdown occurs some new ones just pop up to take their place.

A Proposed Living Wage For Musicians Act Could Raise Streaming Royalties For Artists

$fractional-penny$

If you took a poll of indie musicians, I think the majority of them would say that streaming royalties are way too low. It always seems so unfair that each stream is only earning a small fraction of a penny, yet many superstars have so many streams that they still make some good money, even […]

Surprise! There’s No Correlation Between Social Engagement And Content Consumption

social engagement

One of the things that we’ve all been taught about optimizing our content for social media is that the more social engagement a post garners, the better.

Don’t Look Now, But Music Videos Don’t Matter As Much As They Used To

Music videos throughout time
