Description
This collection of popular hip-hop and R&B tracks from prominent artists driven primarily by streaming sources.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
This catalog features high-profile hip-hop and R&B artists like Trey Songz, Kevin Gates, B. Smyth, Future, and more. Its earnings are notably consistent over time primarily from streaming sources, which account for 76% of the last year and 70% of all-time.
Also worth highlighting is the diversity of earnings across all the songs included. The top-five earning tracks collectively generated 63% of the last year’s royalties, while the remaining 66 contributed a combined 37%.
This collection has diversity among its income distribution and song age. Release dates for income-producing songs range from 2014 to 2019, while the highest-earning song only accounts for 17% of last year’s income. This means you’re not tied to the success of a single title and there is built-in diversity from the mix of older and newer releases.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
Two of the top-five earning tracks in this catalog were performed by three-time Grammy nominee Trey Songz: “All We Do” is off of Songz’ 2014 album, Trigga, which debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200, while “Jupiter Love” is from his 2009 album, Ready.
No stranger to the Billboard 200 chart, Kevin Gates has had multiple mixtapes land in the top 40 and his first studio album landed at No. 2. Gates’ “D U Down” is from his 2017 album By Any Means 2 and brought in 17% of earnings over the last year.
The sharp growth in radio earnings in the last 4 quarters can be attributed to the recent release of top-earning track “Too Many Reasons” by B. Smyth in 2019.
