My initial thought is the amount going to artists with volume like The Rolling Stones, and Bieber (or whatever the kids are clamoring for these days) must command a much higher rate per listen presumably shifting the total percent going to artists to be much higher than that.


Regular radio does this. There is a bonus if your music reaches a certain level. At 25,000 performances, it is 1.5x the base rate and goes up to 4x.


There isn't very much variation in the royalty rate for artists on Spotify.
