damn, it must peanuts then for people who have few million streams 

5k$ per 1M stream? Yea small artists must be struggling

I wonder how much of that money Max Martin got

[King of the Fall 3,811]

Biggest hit since I don't know how long.

I know this is going to sound so odd, but that doesn't seem like that much money for 4 billion streams. 

I mean, I'll take five thousand of it, Abel. But still.

And then you have to take into consideration that they don't even see all of that cause the label, taxes and other factors involved.

Yeah for a small artist 1M streams is a big deal, and for them to probably see 1-2k$ net from it (i mean if we include covering studio costs, probably nothing).

Safe to say small artists don't make money from streaming. They probably rely on gigs.

Unfortunately big artists don't make much from streaming either, the money comes in from touring and merch I believe.
