Spotify has begun testing a new feature with its iOS app that allows users to block artists from appearing on their account. This means that blocked artists will no longer appear on Discover Weekly, Daily Mixes, searches, or any charts curated by Spotify. According to from Thurrott, this feature will be coming in a future update. Spotify will let you block music from any artist you don’t like throughout the app. This means it will block music from that artist on your personal library, playlists, automatically curated playlists, charts, radios, and everything else.

Blocking artists goes beyond them appearing in charts and playlists. You won’t be able to play music from that artist by manually selecting it, either. Blocking, literally means you won’t be able to see or hear anything from the artist. The only exception to this rule is if the blocked artist is featured on another artist’s track, they won’t be blocked. The new feature can be accessed from the “” menu on an artist’s page, where you can click “Don’t play this artist” to stop playing music from an artist. For now, it appears that this feature is limited to a small number of users on iOS.

It’s unclear if/when this feature will be rolling out to all users. Hopefully other music streaming services such as roll out a similar feature. Despite tapping the “dislike” button on every song from an artist, Apple Music will continually suggest music from that artist.

Hello everyone, I want to be an artist and I would like to know the answer to a bunch of questions. How much do Artists get paid (Amount) 2018. 2 How much of their earnings do artists get, does Spotify take a cut.

Nov 29, 2018 - Plan Premium Country Sweden Device (PC, Macbook Pro) Operating System (iOS 10, Windows 10,etc.) My Question or Issue I am unable to.

What is a Stream or Play. If a song is for example 1 minute will they get paid the amount of 2 streams or only 1 stream. Photoshop tutorials on youtube. If someone downloads your song does Spotify still pay the artist on how much they listen to the song ipeven if it's downloaded. Thank you for your help and time and I hope I get answers soon. Hey Daniel, I'm an artist and have released music on Spotify, so I can provide a lot of insight to this question.

The way you get songs released on Spotify is through a distributor, such as Tunecore & Distrokid for example. You usually have to pay a small fee to this distributor for them to release your track onto spotify, or you can choose not to pay a fee and the distributor may take a% of your royalties.

It takes Spotify up to 90 days to report earnings to distributors. So your earnings in one quarter may not apear until the next (6 months overall). The rate of pay depends on the context of your listeners. This include their location, their account subscription (free or paid), and a numerous amount of other factors.

Spotify pays the distributors for the artists on how many streams they get, not downloads. I'm fairly certain the length of the track is not important unless it is a mix.

I am speaking for myself and not spotify when I say that I earnt around $0.0045 USD per stream. However please do not calculate this and demand a pay cheque from your distributor using these numbers as it will be completely different.

Best of luck!
