Description
Up for bid are growing songwriter royalties with an average Dollar Age of over 10 years, featuring the rock band A Day To Remember.
LISTING HIGHLIGHTS:
- 10-Year Dollar Age = stable earning history
- Positive earning trends, including streaming
- Diverse song income mix
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
This catalog’s top-earning source and song both grew year-over-year — rather impressive for a 10-year-old collection.
Streaming anchors this asset’s royalties with 79% of total returns in the last 12 months, an increase of 13% over the year prior.
Impressively, all five of the highest-earning songs in the catalog grew by double digits in the last 12 months. These tracks have a long track record of earnings—released between 2007 and 2010 — with the top-producing song among them accounting for just 15% of last year’s total. This means there’s built-in diversity within the song mix.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
This offering features music from the first three studio albums of the band A Day To Remember.
Four of the catalog’s top-five tracks are from the group’s third album, the Gold-certified Homesick. Released in 2009, Homesick was well-received by fans and critics alike—hitting No. 1 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart, No. 2 on Hard Rock Albums, and No. 21 on the mainstream Billboard 200.
The catalog’s highest-earner is “If It Means a Lot to You” featuring vocals from Sierra Kusterbeck, with 15% of last year’s returns. The single is the band’s most popular song to date on Spotify with nearly 132 million spins.
Right behind is “The Downfall of Us” — a Gold-certified single also generating 15% of royalties in the last 12 months (just $67 less than the top-song, "If It Means a Lot to You").
Rounding out top titles:
- “Have Faith In Me” — Homesick
- “I’m Made of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of?” — Homesick
- "The Plot to Bomb the Panhandle" — For Those Who Have Heart (2007)
Key Drivers
Dollar Age. This catalog has a Dollar Age of 10.26 years. This means the majority of royalties earned in the last 12 months came from songs that have collected royalties for more than ten years. A high Dollar Age like this suggests stability and longevity. A catalog containing mature works with consistent (and even growing earnings) is something worth noting as an investor. This can help sustain a catalog's earnings moving forward.
Diversity in Song Income Mix. Revenues are also widely distributed — the single highest-earning song only accounts for 15% of last year’s income. This means the catalog’s earnings provide built-in diversification.
