Data Shows 90 Percent of Streams Go to the Top 1 Percent of Artists

Per Alpha Data, the top 10 percent of artists take nearly all the streams. The top 160,000 artists who released music during that time period saw 99.4 percent of the streams. Almost half of the artists analyzed saw fewer than 100 streams on the music. DaBaby, who had a rather prolific year and a half with three albums released, was the artist with the most streams on music released during this time.

Streaming does, however, mark a notable improvement from radio, where the top 1 percent received practically all — read: 99.996 percent — of radio spins on the music released during that time.

It does make sense to me.

You forgot the last three word of the sentence. '...who all suck.'

A lot of tin-eared people out there will only like shit if it's popular.

so just like the world's wealth distribution?

Playlisting is the new radio payola system. Why don’t you dig deep into that.

the music business still sucks? who knew

I mean, this does make sense.

Based on the extreme bias in other Twitter posts, I assume Rolling Stone would prefer that the streams were equally distributed.

Hey it’s like the American economy.

We have an exposure inequality here for artists.

the fact that luke bryan is in the top 1% says a lot

ok
