Royalty

Good evening Deezer support, Since today I am trying out Deezer.  Can you explain to me how the royalties are distributed?  What percentage of the turnover goes to the makers?  How is it determined who gets how much?  Is this, just like with Spotify, the Worldwide streaming percentage yields the same percentage of the royalty budget, or is it revenue per user that goes pro rata, for example to my listened artists.  I saw that your amount per stream is higher than with Spotify, so I think it's good.  Like to hear from you.

        Hi Nina, Thank you for this article.  The percentage is, I understand, comparable to Spotify.  Unfortunately, I can't find how the distribution is made in the article.  However, the rate differs per country.  I live in the Netherlands, we pay €10.99 per month.  If I listen to 1 artist half the time, will they receive half of my royalty budget?  Or is the streaming percentage in a country, continent or worldwide still being looked at?  I dislike the global post-rato system.

        Hey there @WoAl 

        Its a complex issue. 


        This article might help. It’s recent, directly addresses your concerns, and it’s coming straight from the deezer CEO.  

         

        As far as specifically supporting my preferred artists, I try to do so by buying merchandise and music directly from them, in addition to my deezer subscription.
