DO ARTISTS GET PAID FOR PLAYLISTED MUSIC?
Artists can get paid for playlisted music, but it depends on a few factors such as the streaming service, the type of playlist, and the artist's contract with their label or distributor.
In general, when a song is played on a streaming service like Spotify, the service pays royalties to the artist and their record label. The amount of royalties paid per stream can vary depending on the streaming service and the artist's contract, but it is typically a fraction of a penny per stream.
When a song is playlisted, it may receive more streams and therefore generate more royalties for the artist. However, not all playlists are created equal. Some playlists are curated by the streaming service's editorial team and can have a significant impact on an artist's exposure and earnings. Other playlists may be user-generated and have less influence on an artist's success.
Additionally, some streaming services offer bonuses or incentives for playlist placement. For example, Spotify offers a "Discovery Mode" program where artists can pay to have their music recommended to new listeners and included on more playlists.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY SONG IS BEING PLAYLISTED?
If you're using UnitedMasters SELECT as your music distributor, you can use the platform's analytics tools to track your plays and see where your music is being streamed. This can help you see if your music is being playlisted on various streaming services.
