streaming revenue
Online playback income
Streaming revenue is income generated from digital streaming platforms—money that artists, labels, or content creators earn when users play their music, videos, or other media through services like Spotify, Netflix, or YouTube.
The model typically pays per stream rather than per purchase: Her streaming revenue finally surpassed her album sales.
The term appears frequently in discussions of how the music industry has shifted from ownership to access.
