Description
This catalog features two singles from Sanctus Real, including their top 10 hit “Confidence.”
As the winning bidder, you’ll collect royalties on these songs for the lifetime of the copyright.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
Radio is the largest income source for this pair of songs — 85% of last year’s returns and 89% of historical royalties.
You’ll notice a spike in royalties in Q3-2019, which is the result of SESAC making a catch-up payment (totaling approximately $11,600) for the catalog’s top song “Confidence.” This payment is a result of adjusted royalties — primarily for radio and streaming — over prior performance periods. It’s unlikely such adjustments will occur again, but if they do you are entitled to any future one-time catch-up payments as the winner of this auction.
Streaming, however, remains stable as the catalog begins its transition from radio to streaming. Streaming generated 11% over the last four quarters, compared to only 8% of royalties to date.
The hit single “Confidence” drives returns for this two-song catalog at 79% over the last 12 months.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
“Confidence” is the third single off Sanctus Real’s album Changed, released in 2018. The track had an impressive radio run debuting at No. 48 on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart the week of February 24, 2018. After a long, 36-week climb, it finally peaked at No. 7 in November 2018. It also hit No. 3 on the Christian Adult Contemporary monitored radio chart. Additionally, “Confidence” experienced crossover success reaching No. 17 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart.
On the streaming front, the official music video has nearly 8 million views on YouTube, with other versions taking that number to over 11 million YouTube views. "Confidence" has also amassed over 26 million spins on Spotify — making it the band’s most popular song on the platform.
Rounding out the catalog is Sanctus Real’s “Unstoppable God” from their 2019 album of the same name.
Key Drivers
Radio. Radio is the largest source of revenue for the catalog accounting for 85% of last year’s royalties. Although radio royalties are still being generated, they could eventually level off. Typically, songs that experience significant radio play can often build a foundation for other types of income, such as streaming. You'll notice streaming generated 11% of the last 12 months’ earnings, compared to only 8% of royalties to date.
