so,
we were at a neighbor's BBQ yesterday afternoon and they had several friends over whom i did not know nor had ever met.
anyway about two hours in "pumped up kicks" by The National Foster The People came on the neighbours' Spotify playlist and this one guy started saying "isnt it amazing how such a dark subject can have such a catchy upbeat tune?",
i casually mentioned several other songs of the same ilk and he said "oh, you know your music"...
anyways, we struck up a conversation about music and he told me that when he lived in Sydney,Australia he worked in P.R for a record label out there until he moved here a couple of years ago...
to cut a story short that could almost certainly be longer...
he mentioned that approximately 1,000,000 Streams of an album equates to the equivalent of around 650 physical sales and the money the artist receives from this depends on how much 'pull' the artist has in the industry (ie: Taylor Swift of Paul McCartney could demand and earn more than a new up and coming artist form the same amount of streams).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
just a little food for thought about the way streaming apparently works (here in Australia at least)
any thoughts or opinions???
