Pandora want you to know that Pandora is good for medicine because it ante up artists millions and millions of dollars for their song . Take Drake and Lil Wayne , they get nearly $ 3 million each a year . And Pandora wants to pay up them more .
agree to Pandora CEO Tim Westergren , Pandora will pay over two thousand artists $ 10,000 each over the next 12 months . Yeah it ’s not a milli a milli for every artist but that ’s still a solid chunk of alteration ! The top dogs in music evidently get a lot of money :
Drake – $ 3 million
Lil Wayne – $ 3 million
Coldplay – $ 1 million
Adele – $ 1 million
maven Khalifa – $ 1 million
Jason Aldean – $ 1 million
Rascal Flatts – $ 670,351
Ellie Goulding – $ 609,046
Zac Brown Band – $ 547,064
Mumford & Sons – $ 523,902
Iron & Wine – $ 173,152
Bon Iver – $ 135,223
George Winston – $ 85,239
The Four Tops – $ 65,173
But less known creative person are getting paid too . Artists I ’ve never heard of like Donnie McClurkin , French Montana or Grupo Bryndis ( who rank 4,752 , 17,000 and 183,187 , severally on Amazon ) are each pull together $ 100,000-$138,000 a year from Pandora . Pandora is happy to pay up these ‘ performance fees ’ to artists but the RIAA and Congress keep trying to make it harder for net radio receiver stations to succeed . Sigh . Artists getting paid good money for their own music would be something the awful RIAA would be against . [ PandoraviaBusiness Insider ]
