Description

Here's an opportunity to earn royalties from French pop song “Voir La Nuit S'Emballer.” The track is performed by French pop star M. Pokora, and in the last four quarters has produced $8,843.

M. Pokora came onto the music scene in 2003, when he was a participant on the third season of Popstars, a French talent/reality show. He became a part of the French boy band Linkup as a result of the show, which enjoyed moderate pop success. Pokora has sold more than 3.5 million records in France alone and was recently a judge on The Voice Kids France.

Now a solo artist, M. Pokora released “Voir La Nuit S'Emballer” in 2015 on his sixth studio album--R.E.D. (Rythmes Extrêmement Dangereux). The album R.E.D. reached No. 1 on both French and Belgian charts, and was certified double-Platinum by the National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (SNEP). The same year, 2015, Pokora received French Male Artist of the Year from the NJR Music Award (NMA).

“Voir La Nuit S'Emballer” loosely translates in English to “Watch the Night Fly” and earned notable royalties in the Q4 of 2016.

Not surprising, 88% of the earnings for “Voir La Nuit S'Emballer” come from France, with Belgium coming in second with 10%. The song also has a YouTube presence with 12.3 million music video views, as well as 1.2 million streams on Spotify. It's worth mentioning that M. Pokora is currently touring through the end of 2017.
