From a single Spotify stream, an artist earns an average of €0.004. This sum, told by AI, of course doesn’t all go to the singer—various expenses are deducted. With a thousand clicks, you can buy a cheeseburger, as long as you let others take a bite too. The bassist eats their own lunch!
With ten million clicks a year, you can reach the salary level of a practical nurse—so there’s hope to live on. - Let's say that when an artist invests a little more in social media marketing, they can get one "extra" gig per year. From that, they might end up with a princely sum of around €100 in their pocket. That's equivalent to 25,000 streams, or 25 four-euro hamburgers.
