Key Drivers
Hip-Hop & Streaming. This offering is a perfect example of two trends: hip-hop and streaming's growth worldwide. According to BuzzAngle's 2019 Year-End Report, hip-hop is the most popular genre of music in the U.S. The driver for the increase is streaming. Six out of the top 10 streamed songs were hip-hop/rap and 52 out of the top 100 most streamed songs were hip-hop/rap.
Active Tours & New Releases. Tinashe is currently touring with dates through May 2020. She also just released a new single in February 2020. While the new song is not included in this auction, new releases and tours can help boost an artist's back catalog, as it draws discovery among first-time listeners and re-engages existing fanbase.
NOTE ABOUT CHANGE IN DISTRIBUTORS
This catalog’s public performance earnings were historically paid by BMI. The songwriter recently resigned from BMI and is now a member of ASCAP. The data presented was collected/paid by BMI.
Going forward, the winner of this auction will collect from BMI and ASCAP. BMI will represent/collect on the included works in the United States. Royalties collected outside the United States will begin to flow through the songwriter's current society, ASCAP. As the winning bidder, you will be entitled to any past performance royalties collected from around the world to be paid by BMI and ASCAP, regardless of when they were earned.
