Key Drivers

Radio is the largest source of income with 69% of historic earnings. “In Those Jeans” was released 14 years ago and is still collecting radio royalties, although leveling off from its initial spike in 2003.

Streaming accounts for 10% of the song's royalties to-date. Although this is a small percentage of overall earnings, streaming is currently demonstrating a healthy fourth quarter growth rate of 32%.
