NOTE: Be aware most labels set a minimum amount before they will pay you any royalties normally about £100, and in terms of streaming that is a lot so if you are on a 50/50 split deal, the chances of you ever getting paid are almost zero. At Almighty1 Music we do not play by those rules what ever money your song generates from streaming and downloads you can withdraw on the 10th of each month from your own account.... With all Pro and Playlist releases we pay you 90% of all income... do the math?
