Description
Here’s a second chance at this Platinum global hit — up for bid are publishing royalties for “Guatemala” by Swae Lee featuring his partner Slim Jxmmi (together, hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd).
Over the summer, we listed the songwriter’s share of public performance royalties (you can review that auction here). Investors were excited about that offering, and now we have the publishing side available for bidding.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
Mechanical royalties drive this song’s earnings with 60% of last year’s income, and is the second most stable source of royalties after public performance. Public performance earnings account for 26% of the song’s royalties in the last 12 months.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
Released in 2018, “Guatemala” is from hip-hip duo Rae Sremmurd’s third studio album, SR3MM. The triple album is unique as it includes the debut solo studio albums by each of the duo, Swaecation by Swae Lee and Jxmtro by Slim Jxmmi. “Guatemala” is off Swaecation.
The album was well-received critically and by fans, becoming certified Gold in both the U.S. and Canada and peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard 200.
The Platinum-certified “Guatemala” has over 209 million spins on Spotify, while the official YouTube video has 78+ million views.
Key Drivers
Income Mix. The winner of this auction can receive income in various ways:
- Mechanical: Royalties paid to songwriters and publishers when music is sold (think CD or vinyl) but also when music is streamed (streaming mechanicals) “on-demand” (like Spotify).
- Performance: Royalties paid to songwriters when music is performed publicly. Music played over the radio, in a restaurant or bar, or over a service like Spotify or Pandora is considered a public performance.
- Synchronization: Royalties paid to songwriters and publishers for the licensing of a song in music for a movie, TV show, or commercial.
