There’s a lot of confusing and unclear statements in this article — even more than those pointed out by Gatorguy.

While Apple has previously stated that over 70% of Apple Music revenues go to the artists, sharing those payments can mean that the recording artist themselves may only receive 13% of the per-stream total.

What’s the difference between an “artist” and a “recording artist”? And what “sharing” is the author talking about here? And what formula transfers 70% to 13%?

I think too much info has been left out or miss-quoted from the original source.

After Apple and the other streaming platforms make a payout. That is further divided between the labels, publishers and artists. And the labels keep the largest cut and in cases where the artists had no streaming clause on their contract the label decides what if any they will pay. 

In my opinion the major issue here are the labels not the streaming platforms.

Side button and volume up at the same time.
