Beggars Banquet review revenues paid to their artists due to streaming

News: 9th May 2014 by Louise Dodgson under Record Labels, Selling & Distributing Your Music

The amounts paid by music streaming services such as Spotify have caused many a heated discussion in recent years. Most artists feel they are awarded a decent royalty from this method.
