New Spotify rules
This year, Spotify is implementing changes to its payment structure for certain types of music and its approach to artificial streaming.
In January, Spotify announced the following updates:
A reduced royalty rate will be paid for what is referred to as 'functional' content, also known as noise content. This category includes all non-music, non-spoken-word audio like nature sounds or machine noises.
To qualify for royalties, functional content must exceed two minutes.
Spotify has announced upcoming changes to its revenue payment policy for tracks on its platform. The revised policies are as follows:
Spotify will begin paying revenue for a track of any genre only after it has garnered a minimum of 1,000 streams from at least 50 unique listeners within the previous 12 months.
If Spotify determines that over 90% of a track's streams were artificially generated, a fee of €10 per month per track will be imposed.
Deezer is removing noise content and boosting payments for some plays
Deezer has made a strategic decision to eliminate all non-music-related content from its platform, which they refer to as "noise." This exclusion encompasses any content that is not primarily musical, with exceptions for podcasts, audiobooks, spoken word, interviews, radio shows, comedy shows, and instructional material.
Moreover, exclusively in France presently, Deezer has implemented a policy where they will remunerate twice the amount for 'active' plays, denoting on-demand listens, in comparison to algorithm-driven plays. Additionally, Deezer plans to enhance the visibility of music by artists who achieve a minimum of 1,000 streams monthly and have a following of at least 500 distinct users.
