Description
This catalog features four recently released tracks from the American hip-hop duo City Girls.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
This group of songs has collected four quarters of payments to date — 95% of those royalties came from streaming services. This coincides with typical earnings trends for the hip-hop genre.
Apple Music leads the way as the top-streaming service with 63% of total returns.
ABOUT THE CATALOG:
A hip-hop duo hailing from Florida and consisting of members Yung Miami and JT, City Girls began to generate significant attention after an appearance on Drake’s 2018 hit, “In My Feelings.” That same year, the duo dropped both a mixtape (Period) and their debut studio album, Girl Code.
This catalog features four tracks from the group — two from each of the above-mentioned albums. “Clout Chasin’” is the top-earner in the group and is responsible for 44% of royalties. It’s followed by “Tighten Up,” bringing in in 35% over the same period. The remaining two tracks — with “Swerve” and “Clear the Air” — account for the remaining earnings.
Key Drivers
Hip-Hop & Streaming. Hip-Hop/Streaming. This catalog is a perfect example of two trends: hip-hop and streaming's growth worldwide. According to BuzzAngle's 2019 Year End Report, hip-hop is the most popular genre of music in the U.S. The driver for the increase is streaming. Six out of the top 10 streamed songs were hip-hop/rap and 52 out of the top 100 most streamed songs were hip-hop/rap.
