Description

This star-studded catalog includes songs by Beyonce, Usher, Romeo Santos featuring Drake, and more. This asset generated over $2,000 in royalties each of the last 4 quarters, earning $9,271 in the last 12 months. Up for auction is 100% of the songwriter's share of public performance royalties for a catalog of 184 songs.

Making up 35% of this catalog's revenue is the song "Odio" (English: "Hate") by Romeo Santos featuring Drake. “Odio” was released in 2014 as the second single for his second studio album Formula, Vol. 2. It jumped to the number one spot on the Hot Latin Songs chart and was the highest debut for a Spanish song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Today it has over 92 million streams on Spotify and is Santos' number 2 most streamed song. It was just announced this week that Santos is one of 24 singer/songwriters and composers nominated for this year's Latin Songwriter Hall of Fame.

Another notable song is Beyonce's 2008 “Radio” off of her 3x Platinum, 5 time Grammy winning album “I Am...Sasha Fierce.” Beyonce has over 16 million monthly listeners on Spotify ranking 42nd in the world. The songwriter also contributed to Usher's “Lay You Down," Sean Paul's “Dream Girl,” and has worked with Kevin Gates, Trey Songz, and Kid Ink, among others.

Earn money every time “Odio,” or any one of these 184 songs, is played on the radio, streamed on Spotify, or any other type of public performance.
