A few things worth knowing about how these numbers actually work: most platforms don't pay a fixed price per stream at all — they pool total subscription and ad revenue for a market each month and divide it among rights holders based on their share of total streams (a "pro-rata" model), so the effective rate moves depending on how much total listening happened that month. These figures also reflect commonly cited, publicly discussed ranges rather than an official rate published by any platform, and they tend to be noticeably lower outside major markets like the U.S. and U.K. For your exact, real payout, your distributor or PRO dashboard is always the source of truth — see the How Royalties Actually Get Paid section above for the fuller picture.
