Soundcloud Offer New Fan-Powered Royalties

US Aims to pay artists based on fans actual listening habits      02/03/21

Soundcloud have announced a new fan-powered royalties scheme, which pays out on the proportion of time a fan listens to an artist, rather than a share based on their share of streams. It starts in April 2021 and is open to artists who monetize directly with Soundcloud using their 'Premier' subscription.
