FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
Streaming is the largest contributor to this catalog’s earnings, accounting for 83% in the last 12 months, and 80% of all-time earnings. Spotify, Pandora, and Apple Music are the top streaming platforms.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
This catalog features the work of rising country music singer/songwriter Taylor Acorn. The majority of the catalog consists of tracks from Acorn’s 2017 EP Put It In a Song. Top-earning tracks from that EP include “Something Tonight,” “Guys Like You,” and “Put It In a Song” which collectively contribute 74% of total earnings and well over 17 million Spotify streams.
The catalog also includes her 2016 single “What Do I Do” which remains a strong-earning track in the catalog, showing solid growth over the last year and collecting just under 2 million Spotify streams to date.
Key Drivers
Streaming Growth Worldwide. According to IFPI’S Global Music Report 2019, streaming revenues were up 34% in 2018, accounting for nearly half (47%) of total recorded music revenues. By the end of 2018, there were 255 million users of paid subscription accounts globally. This is good news for you as the investor as 83% of last year’s earnings came from domestic streaming.
Diversity in Song Income Mix. Revenues are also widely distributed — the single highest-earning song only accounts for 28% of last year’s collective income from both distributors. This means the catalog’s earnings are not tied to the success of a single track and provides built-in diversification for you as an investor.
