A music-streaming study has revealed that only hip-hop and pop artists really benefit from the system’s payment model.
Blues, jazz, and heavy metal bands frequently end up being short-changed by streaming services like Apple, Spotify, and Tidal, says the study.
Researchers at Hamburg University and the northern German city’s private Kuehne Logistic University found that mostly pop and hip-hop artists are benefiting from the so-called pro-rata model.
