The Two Halves of Music

Every stream yields two separate revenue streams: the Master Sound Recording (typically ~82% of payout) and the Musical Composition/Publishing (~18%). Independent artists owning 100% of both capture maximum yield.

What Drives Multiples?

Catalogue sales are valued as a multiple of trailing Net Publisher's Share (NPS). Growing streaming volume, sync placements in film/gaming, and high save-rates push multiples from 10x up to 20x annual earnings.

The 21-Day Pitch Rule

Spotify editorial teams require at least 14–21 days of lead time to index tracks for official Release Radar and algorithmic radio generation. Rushing a release in 5 days forfeits 80% of first-week discovery potential.
