The top-grossing song on Spotify is Shape of You, which earned Ed Sheeran $6,566,000. Drake is Spotify’s highest earner, with an estimated haul of $52,546,150. Here’s Spotify’s 2021 “Rich List” – by star, genre, and hit record. Top Dollar calculated the earnings of 100 top-earning (living) Spotify artists and the 100 most-played songs on the service. So, while everyone knows that it’s streambait-or-bust for unknown artists, just how well are the famous ones doing? It’s clear that the Spotify economy looks very different depending on where you’re standing. On the other hand, top stars make millions of dollars per song on the service. Damon from Galaxie 500 takes a more forensic approach: “Spotify… sent songwriting royalties of $1.05 for the 5,960 times our single “Tugboat” was played that quarter-split between the group’s three members, each of us had made 35 cents.” “I’m not willing to contribute my life’s work to an experiment that I don’t feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists, and creators of this music,” says Taylor Swift – whose love-hate relationship with Spotify is well-documented. But like any big star, everybody’s looking to see how Spotify spends its wealth. Get into it, yuh.Spotify might just be the biggest star in 21 st century music. I like Doja Cat because she’s super fucking hot and I can’t get the ‘get into it yuh’ song out of my head. 
You like Doja Cat because of her versatility and her consistently high-level effort and energy.
You’re especially angry about January 6 because they almost hurt Mike Pence. You like eating at Chick-Fil-A, and not even because you particularly like the food. You love reminding people that you started listening to her before she got popular. What are you, a college student, doing listening to music made by a 17-year-old for 13-year-olds? I know what you’re doing, you’re trying to get over your breakup with some guy named Brayden or something who you were seeing for three weeks. If you are not on a tranquilizer, you should be. You are most likely already on a tranquilizer. Phoebe Bridgers, Mitski, Frank Ocean, Lana del Rey, Soccer Mommy:
But Justin Bieber is actually cool now, so congratulations! Also still hot. If Spotify Wrapped™ had been a thing 9 years ago, you’d have been fucked. Maybe if you stream her another 500 times she can afford another scarf.
You think Taylor Swift is an ‘indie’ artist (she’s definitely not). Still listening to 1D in 2021 is not as ‘fun’ or as ‘quirky’ as you think it is. Also there’s like coin-flip odds you have a nicotine addiction.
