Audio streaming giant Spotify’s royalty payments to artists from South Africa spiked in 2024.
Royalties for South African performers reached $21-million, that’s around R400-million — marking a 54% year-on-year increase.
Spotify continues to be a big role player in the South African music industry helping artists maximise reach and success with transparent numbers aiding artists growth.
With their free to use ad based option, Spotify continues to grow and should see more earnings for artists through user acquisition as artists generally drive fans to music on DSPs with Spotify coming up with more interactive user interface.
