Description

This single-song listing features producer royalties from a single track: “Red Eye” performed by hot rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. 

As the winning bidder, you’ll collect streaming and digital download earnings for the lifetime of the copyright on the single, as well as a share of royalties earned by sales of the associated album. Streaming in particular pays a greater share of revenue to sound recording royalties over composition royalties. 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

Streaming (both ad-supported and subscription) generated nearly all of this asset’s earnings — 99% of returns to date. Subscription streaming is the dominant of the two, alone accounting for 79%. Apple Music is the top streaming platform with 61% of total earnings. 

ABOUT THE CATALOG: 

“Red Eye” was released in 2020 on YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s 15th mixtape album Still Flexin, Still Steppin. The mixtape was successful, debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and was YoungBoy's second-highest charting album at the time. 

The single “Red Eye” has nearly 28 million spins on Spotify.

Key Drivers

Streaming Growth Worldwide. According to IFPI’S Global Music Report 2021, subscription streaming revenues for recorded music increased 18.5% over the previous year. That’s the sixth consecutive year of growth, totaling 443 million paid subscription accounts worldwide. Total streaming (including both paid subscription and advertising-supported) grew 19.9% and reached $13.4 billion, or 62.1% of total global recorded music revenues. 

Sound Recordings: Sound recording royalties benefit from streaming disproportionately more than composition-based royalties. If Spotify pays 70-cents of every dollar on music rights, 60-cents of that goes to the sound recording copyright (which the label splits with the artist based on their contract agreement), while the remaining 10-cents goes to the composition copyright.

Multiple Income Streams. The winner of this auction can receive royalties from various streams:

  • Sales: Royalties paid to artists and producers when a recording is sold, which can be downloaded (on a platform like iTunes), as well as physical copies being sold (such as a C.D.).
     
  • Streaming: Royalties paid to artists and producers when a recording is streamed “on-demand” (like Spotify or Apple Music for example).
     
  • Synchronization: Royalties paid to artists and producers for the licensing of a recording in music for a movie, TV show, or commercial.

WHAT IS BEING SOLD?

The Seller's interest in all sound recording royalties (except for distributed by SoundExchange) attributable to the listed in the Track List noted above.
