Necessary Notes on Information Sources and Methodology.
[1] Subscriber knowledge primarily based on April, 2024 mechanical licensing statements from the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC), as shared with Digital Music Information by a serious music publishing conglomerate. These figures concerned DMN Professional multipliers on varied base subscription accounts to estimate the precise variety of lively subscribers. These multipliers are: 1x for Particular person Plans; 2x for Duo Plans (Spotify is presently the one DSP providing a two-person plan); 3x for Household Plans, and 0.5x for Pupil plans. Word that the MLC applies a 1.75x multiplier to all group plans, and a 0.5x multiplier for Pupil plans.
[2] Complete figures for April, 2024, as calculated by the MLC.
[3] Per-stream calculations contain a easy calculation: the Complete Payable Mechanical Royalty Pool for every platform for the month divided by the whole tracked streams (‘performs’) on the identical platform for that month.
[4] YouTube Music figures are for February, 2024, however will probably be up to date shortly to match different April, 2024 figures.
