Description
This streaming-driven catalog offers stable historical financials, growth across income sources, and some of today’s hottest R&B/hip-hop artists.
LISTING HIGHLIGHTS:
- Life of Rights investment term
- 9-Year Dollar Age = stable earning history
- Positive earning trends
- Strong supporting catalog, including a 4x Platinum hit
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
The top two income sources — domestic streaming and international royalties — are both growing. That’s a strong performance for an offering with an average Dollar Age of over 9 years.
Looking at the top-earning songs, 4x Platinum “Bottoms Up” grew 8% compared to the prior period, while 2010’s “Love Faces” demonstrated a rather stable earning history.
ABOUT THE CATALOG
In the last 12 months, income is evenly split between two Trey Songz singles: “Bottoms Up” and “Love Faces” with 37% of revenue respectively.
"Bottoms Up” was the lead single off Trey Songz fourth studio album, Passion, Pain & Pleasure and features multi-Platinum hip-hop star Nicki Minaj. The track is Trey Songz’ most successful to date, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is certified quadruple-Platinum. To date “Bottoms Up” has over 100 million Spotify spins while the video has nearly 112 million views. The Gold-certified "Love Faces" is also off Passion, Pain & Pleasure and hit No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Rounding out the leading titles are two additional Trey Songz singles: “Blind” (2010) and “What’s Best For You” (2014), along with a 2018 release “My Bestie” from R&B crooner Lloyd.
Key Drivers
Dollar Age. This catalog has a Dollar Age of 9.14 years. This means the majority of royalties earned in the last 12 months came from songs that have collected royalties for more than nine years. A high Dollar Age like this suggests stability and longevity.
"Bottoms Up" was released in 2010 and royalties continue to remain consistent and even grew in the last 12 months. 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.
Hip-Hop & Streaming. This catalog 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.
