The royalty rates are less and our customers are enjoying our music though YouTube at the same rate as they use Spotify. I am less worried about promoting our music on YouTube. This data tells me that I should continue to promote our music on Spotify like we have been but that we should start promoting our music on Apple Music a little more. Our standard YouTube steams outnumber the premium service streams 101 to 1. It is great to see people paying for content but not many of our customers have tried out this new service yet. This is YouTube's premium streaming service. This is the first time we have analyzed the new YouTube Red service. Lucky for us our customers are paying for premium services over using the ad supported free service 3.5 to 1. The royalty rates for Spotfy's premium service is much better than for their free service like last time. The only problem with that is our customers seem to prefer Spotify's premium service over Apple Music 14 to 1. These results show that Apple Music would be the streaming service that we should be promoting our music on the most. Below is a chart of our average per stream royalty rates from Spotify, YouTube and Apple. I have reviewed the last six months of digital distribution statements for Unlimited Sounds Publishing & Distribution LLC. Last time there was not enough data available on Apple Music to include it.

I will add Apple Music streaming royalty rates this time. I think it is time to take a look at them again and see if anything has changed. At that time Spotify's per stream royalty rates were much better.

About six months ago I did a comparison of Spotify and YouTube royalty rates.
