Mark Ronson reportedly earns $100,000 (£65,000) a week from 'Uptown Funk' Spotify streams.

The producer's global hit has been played over 125 million times in just over two months, Music Business World reports.

Mark Ronson press shot 2014.

Judging from Spotify's rates of $0.007 per play, 'Uptown Funk' is believed to have raked in $880,000 in total since its release.

Profits from the streams will be shared between Ronson, his record label, his publisher and the track's co-writers Jeff Bhasker, Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrence.

Ronson recently held onto his fifth week at the top of the US chart with the single, while Ellie Goulding brought 'Uptown Funk's seven-week reign atop the UK charts to an end with 'Love Me Like You Do'.

I'm not sure if I believe this because artists and songwriters are always whinging that they don't earn as much from streaming as it's alleged.

Yeah, the article implies the $100,000 a week is shared amongst Mark, the writers, the publishers and the record company. I'll bet the record company take 50% of the profits, and I'm sure I read something recently that suggested the writer gets about 25%, which means Mark will be lucky if he gets 10% of the overall profit.

Well it does say it's shared. But it's a surprise to see how much money streaming gives to the music industry these days.

Consider the fact that it takes roughly one million spins on Pandora for a songwriter to earn just $90. Avicii’s release “Wake Me Up!” that I co-wrote and sing, for example, was the most streamed song in Spotify history and the 13th most played song on Pandora since its release in 2013, with more than 168 million streams in the US. And yet, that yielded only $12,359 in Pandora domestic royalties— which were then split among three songwriters and our publishers. In return for co-writing a major hit song, I’ve earned less than $4,000 domestically from the largest digital music service.

Why are people so intent on completely missing the point of Taylor removing her music from streaming services?

Well, not that I use streaming but technology is moving on so much that people who use streaming more than buying will be missing out streaming her!

I think you're missing bre's point

I know why she stopped streaming. Wasn't it to get more money by sales only? Or was it another reason as well? This article suggests streaming gives a reasonable amount of money to the artists too

Bearing in mind this is probably the single most streamed song (over such a short period of time) ever, this is a pretty exceptional case and revenue will be much, much lower for most other acts / songs.

This is a single article about one song earning a relatively okay amount of money. Compared to MANY, MANY articles about streaming payout being next to bugger all.

Anyway moving this thread to international charts as has been requested by an anonymous house
