I'm guessing that this lady is not to well known on this thread. Jane Olivor, now retired had quite a following in the USA. A dfficult career, perfect pitch and this version of Don McLean's "Vincent".

OK, I have a question for all the music experts out there, seems we have quite a few in this thread. 

I recently bought an Apple HomePod, and it's great.  With the monthly subscription charge of $10 per month paid to Apple, I can get any music I want, any time, even some very obscure artists and music, at home or even in my car with Apple CarPlay.  It's great!

Now, THE QUESTION.......HOW DO THE ARTISTS GET PAID/COMPENSATED???

I've asked a number of people about this and no one seems to know how that gets done.  This question would pertain to all the platforms out there besides Apple Music, such as Spotify, Amazon Music et al.

ANYONE KNOW?

its my understanding that each time you play a song the artist(s)/songwriter(s) and record label get paid a sum of money, typically a very small amount similar to PRS (performing rights) with the idea the more one of your songs gets played the more you (as an artist) get paid.
you'll hear most artists say that they get next to nothing and that a million plays = pennies compared to "record sales".

I went ahead and googled it, and apparently platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, et al pay the artist/producer/someone one or two cents per song play.  Doesn't sound like a lot of money, but when you consider the millions upon millions of subscribers to various services worldwide, this probably adds up to a bunch of money.  To me, it sounds like an accounting/logistics nightmare.  And the artists are really at the mercy of the platforms to properly report.  Unless there is a way to track playtime and who is gonna do that and how is that even done.  I guess it's up to the producer of an album/song to then further split the take to include the artist.  And what then happens to artists that are deceased?  I suppose their share goes to their estate?  Anyway, just seems like an incredible undertaking to satisfy the artists involved.

With so many Japanese bands still unable to travel and tour. My favourite, Band Maid have had time to return to jokey projects. Like this new single from Cluppo. Miku is a the founder of Rock Band, Band Maid but clearly like the happy clappy feel of pop.
