One of the many things that the digital revolution has done to the music industry is to create and accentuate a number of imbalances.

Une directive sur les "oeuvres orphelines" Le texte transpose une autre directive qui autorise l'exploitation à des fins non lucratives des "oeuvres orphelines". David Byrne calls for transparency from labels and streaming services. David Byrne has called for more transparency from major labels and streaming services, criticising the lack of information regarding how they pay royalties and what percentage of these reach the artists.
“Many streaming services are at the mercy of the record labels (especially the big three: Sony, Universal and Warner), and nondisclosure agreements keep all parties from being more transparent,” wrote the former Talking Heads man in an op-ed piece for the New York Times. He went on to reveal that he had tried to get Apple Music to break down their royalty calculations over their three-month trial period, only to be told that he would have to get his lawyers involved. “I asked Apple Music to explain the calculation of royalties for the trial period. They said they disclosed that only to copyright owners (that is, the labels). “Before musicians and their advocates can move to enact a fairer system of pay, we need to know exactly what’s going on,” he wrote.
UK music streaming hits high note of 500m songs per week. The revolution in the way we listen to music has passed another landmark, as more than 500m songs were streamed online in the UK in a single week, with Mark Ronson, Ed Sheeran and Rihanna among the most popular artists.
The 505m audio streams in the chart week ending 16 July is the first time the number of weekly streams on services such as Spotify, Deezer and Google Play has topped the half a billion mark – which is nearly double the number of songs streamed a year ago. The boom is despite high-profile royalties disputes involving artists such as Taylor Swift, and concerns about sound quality. Neil Young has banned his back catalogue from streaming, dubbing the audio the “worst quality in the history of broadcasting”. Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk was the most streamed song in the first half of 2015, played more than 45m times. With 11.5bn streams in the year to date, more than 25bn streams are forecast for the whole of 2015, up from 15bn last year. Why Indie Artists Can't Afford to Skip Streaming: Guest Post.
Tracy Maddux is the CEO of CD Baby, a digital distributor that works closely with independent musicians to get their work on platforms like iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music, among others.
It was a watershed year for the half-million or so artists and labels CD Baby distributes worldwide in 2016. It was the year its artists' lifetime gross earnings crossed the half-a billion-dollar mark (yep, $500,000,000). But the most important trend was that revenue from streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music overtook downloads as the number one source of artists' sales. We're pleased to see that independent artists are now making more money from their music thanks to the growth in streaming. Of all digital revenue, streaming represented only 32 percent of gross earnings in 2015.
In 2016, that ratcheted up to almost half. But other sources of revenue are still important as well -- both to the artist and the consumers whose preference favors other formats.
