Description
If you’re looking for a diverse mix of established and newly released music, you won’t want to miss this collection. Up for auction is a catalog with heavy international activity, led by this the highest-earning song “Kiss You Inside Out.” The 2011 release by Canadian pop-rock group Hedley is both the oldest and highest-earning song in the catalog, contributing nearly 40% of the revenue generated in the last 12 months.,
The remaining 60% of this catalog’s earnings are spread out relatively evenly across the remaining tracks in this collection. Newer electronic releases like “Plans” from Elephante, “Out Of Love” from Two Friends, and “State I’m In” from Brandyn Burnette contributed to nearly a quarter of earnings in the last 12 months. Also worth noting is the 2016 release “Marathon” from the Lost Kings, showing impressive growth of nearly 70% over the prior year.
Both international and streaming sources are on the rise, thanks to the impressive worldwide influence of this collection’s artists and genres.
