For example, Bette Midler has written some popular music. She recently tweeted that she made $114.11 on 4,175,149 plays of her work. Grammy-nominated composer, keyboardist and recording artist Armen Chakmakian, once the keyboardist for the band Shadowfax, tracked his earnings from 14,227 plays. He received $4.20 from songwriting royalties, and because he was the recording artist, he also made $11.50. The record label is also his, and it took in $19.39. The total was $35.09, which works out to about a quarter of a cent per play. Someones making money, and in true fashion with the music industry, its not the artists, he wrote. Business practices like this are one of the reasons I jumped ship and only write for television now. Thanks for sending Ted Reilly cbsnews/news/musicians-say-music-streaming-leaves-them-broke/
