The song was played 1 millon times and he got $16.89.
How many times the song should be played to make a significant amount then? A billion times?
- thedufer 13y agoOn radio, he got ~$1400 for ~19000 plays. But how many people heard those? Estimates for average listeners pretty much all fall between 1000 and 10000, which gives you .68 - 6.8 cents per 1000 listens, whereas on Pandora he got 1.5 cents per 1000 listens. The point is that he's reaching almost no one on Pandora, compared to the number of people he's reaching by radio. Of course they're paying him less.
- IzzyMurad 13y agoI see. So both are paying next to nothing in comparison to the number of plays.
