Wasn't sure where to post this but Maiden will go through 5 billion Spotify streams this week. YouTube views more than 1 billion.

Senjutsu has 165 million Spotify streams, does about 50k per day. Writing has 49 million Spotify streams, does 15k per day, most popular song from the album by a long way with Days Future Past having 24 million streams.

Writing has 50 million YouTube views.

And bands complain they can’t make money from streaming these days :p

If Senjutsu alone is doing 50k streams per day then if they only make 10p a stream that’s £5k a day or over £1.8m a year! Or halve that if it’s only 5p a day but that’s still huge.

Compare that to selling a cd 30 years ago which was a one off purchase and no further revenue from that no matter how many times it’s listened to over the years.

It's obvious Maiden can't exclude themselves from streaming services: not only would they be losing money (hey... everything counts!) but also availability (since there's a fair amount of people who don't consume physical formats) and more importantly web exposition. That being said, when it comes to physical formats, I believe Maiden receives between 15 to 25% of each unit sold from Parlophone. Taking into account the last two albums were doubles (with vinyl versions prices being fairly high) who sold a humongous number of copies... yeah, it's a wrap.
