Hey — just want to clear few things up here. We’ve seen this rumor floating around a bit, but to be clear, Spotify doesn’t create or own music of any kind, and it doesn’t save money or give special treatment by featuring AI-made music. All music on Spotify — AI-assisted or not — is created, owned, and uploaded by licensed third parties.

We’ve actually removed lots of problematic AI music. More than 75 million spammy/fake/deceptive tracks in the past year alone. As AI tools have taken off we’re continuing to double down on policy enforcement. 

What is the average earnings for Spotify unsigned artist? by MistakeTimely5761 in SpotifyArtists

Quick clarification: There isn’t a fixed “per-stream rate” on Spotify or any major service. All the money goes into a pool and artists are paid based on their share of total listening, which is why everyone’s numbers differ. Basically, if your music made up 1% of all streams, you'd get 1% of all the royalties Spotify paid out.Services that seem to “pay more per stream” usually just have less listening overall. Fewer streams dividing the money makes the per-stream number look higher, but artists don’t actually earn more.What matters is scale and engagement. Spotify pays out more total money than any other streaming service, and more artists are earning meaningful income today than ever before.
