Spotify launched a new online resource called “Loud & Clear”. The goal is to increase transparency by sharing new data on the global streaming economy and breaking down the royalty system, the players and the process.

Loud & Clear offers:

• An interactive module showing revenue generated by artist catalogs over the last four years across recording and publishing on Spotify alone
• An interactive tool that puts streaming numbers into better context
• A snapshot of different groupings of artists on Spotify and how streaming has contributed to growing their fanbases
• A video that breaks down how the money flows from Spotify listeners to artists.
• A Q&A of the music economics questions we are most frequently asked by artists and the industry
