After seeing the 2025 Spotify Wrapped<\/a> frenzy on social media, the Welsh group decided to release their granular figures tied to their self-released 2024 album All Hell. The band stresses that they\u2019re not asking fans to abandon streaming, but wanted to present accurate data and let their audiences and the industry interpret the data for themselves.<\/p>\n All Hell<\/em> (2024) is the only album in their catalog to which they retain control of worldwide rights, making it a clean sample of what a fully independent band can collect from digital service providers (DSPs) once distributors and labels are out of the chain. In the breakdown, the band reveals an approximate per-stream figure on twelve months of income from All Hell<\/em> stands at about 0.34p ($0.043 cents) across all DSPs in aggregate. The band says they make about \u00a31.00 for every 294 streams of a song from the album.<\/p>\n The band\u2019s data also quantified platform-by-platform disparities between DSPs. If every stream of All Hell on Spotify had instead occurred on Tidal, they would have received an extra \u00a331,847.38 ($40,400.00 USD)\u2014effectively doubling their streaming income for the period. Additionally, if those Spotify streams had occurred on Apple Music, the band would have earned an additional \u00a312,331 ($15,600 USD), highlighting the significant gap between Spotify\u2019s effective per-stream rate and that of its competitors.<\/p>\n Apple Music was their second most substantial streaming income, totaling \u00a36,496.50 ($8,770 USD) for nearly 1.4 million streams for a total per-stream payout of 0.47p or ($0.063). Both Spotify and Apple Music run the pro-rata model of royalty payment distribution<\/a>, but Apple\u2019s royalty pot is not diluted by subscription-free listeners supported by advertising revenue.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\u201cSpotify is not doing anything to help any of us, unless you\u2019re in the top 1% of major label artists,\u201d Gareth David, Founder of Los Campesinos! told<\/a> The Times<\/em>. The band received a total of \u00a331,940 ($43,118) after their songs were streamed a total of 9.3 million times. Almost 75% of those streams came from Spotify\u2014also earning the lion\u2019s share of the income at \u00a320,428.50 ($27,578 USD).<\/h4>\n
