Music artists’ take-home from downloads and streams

It turns out that to earn the US minimum of $1,160/month, they would need 12,339 iTunes downloads or, alternatively 4,549,20 plays on Spotify. Apparently Lady Gaga made just $167 from 1 million streams of Poker Face on Spotify. Ouch. See on for the full, rather shocking picture.
