Music royalties reach record high but songwriters 'on minimum wage'

Steve Mac - who co-wrote Ed Sheeran's Shape of You - and Ed himself were some of the top earnersIn 2018 £746 million was paid out - a rise of 4% on 2017.

Ruth-Anne, who's worked with Avicii, JoJo and John Legend, says"it's great everything is starting to get monetised" but adds,"unless you have a top 40 radio hit you don't make a substantial income"."It's not like you have one song that's a hit and you're good for life - not anymore" "Back in the day you could make money from being on an album, now people see streams and people see 10 million and think that's a lot - but a songwriter might make £400 from that."Songwriter Ed Drewett: How I write songs for 1D and Little Mix

As a pro musician for 20 years, I’ve never made enough to properly live off. Have juggled it with other jobs, but that is increasingly difficult in this fickle, On Demand 21st century.

At least they get better paid than the rubbish jobs regular Joe's have to do!

A perfect case where technology and advances that happened to e music in the 90s was a case of better off under the record industry and the BPI before they changed music format. The changes happened too quickly for the BPI to increase and put proper steps in place for payment.

It's only minimum wage if a song is not sold or well used which generally means that it's not much good and thus of little value

So does Privileged backgrounds

Well it's minimum wage for doing nothing! They get paid when a song is played/bought! crybaby

Oh, please, don't! And there was me thinking a relative on Universal Credit and having to feed her kids by using food banks was hard up. Shame on me; and well done Ed & co for struggling on so bravely.
