Description

This single-song listing features royalties generated from the song “Guatemala” by Swae Lee ft. Slim Jxmmi (together, hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

This track has been earning strongly from international sources at 94% over the last year.

ABOUT THE CATALOG: 

“Guatemala” is from Rae Sremmurd’s third studio album, SR3MM, which was certified Gold in both the U.S. and Canada. “Guatemala” has earned primarily from streaming sources over its lifetime, at 61% of earnings, which correlates with greater trends for the hip-hop genre.

Over the last 12 months, 94% of royalties have come from “international” sources—a category that includes royalties from radio, streaming platforms, TV/Film, and other sources outside the U.S.

Key Drivers

International Earnings. The majority of this catalog’s earnings come from abroad — at 94% of earnings over the last 4 quarters. As the winner of this auction, you’ll be entitled to any past performance royalties paid by SESAC, regardless of when they were earned. As this collection earns primarily from countries outside the United States, it’s important to note that international earnings can often be reported to distributors with limited detail. These international earnings often include income from radio, streaming platforms, and TV/Film.
