Overview
This listing features songwriter royalties from singer-songwriter Josh Tobias.
The catalog has achieved a strong five-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 49.46%, well above the -4.37% median for comparable assets. This growth reflects both the impact of a major Netflix sync placement and solid underlying streaming performance.
Earnings have varied year to year due to the one-time sync payment and shifting streaming trends. However, recent years show stable or growing streaming income, indicating sustained listener interest.
With a Dollar Age of 3.5 years, most earnings are relatively recent. A higher Dollar Age generally signals more stable income as early volatility evens out over time.
Artist & Song Information
Josh Tobias is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his blend of acoustic pop, country-folk, and heartfelt singer-songwriter styles. After nearly a decade of releasing polished acoustic pop, he embraced a stripped-down, authentic sound focused on guitar and vocals, earning wider recognition when his breakout song “Better By Now” went viral on TikTok and landed a Netflix placement. His 2018 single “Some People Don’t Change” is a poignant, acoustic-driven song that blends reflective lyrics with gentle guitar to explore themes of regret and the difficulty of true transformation, showcasing his emotive, introspective storytelling that has become a hallmark of his sincere, raw, country-folk sound and intimate live performances.
Other Information
Earnings Note. You’ll notice a spike in royalties in 1Q-2024, which is the result of Netflix making a payment (totaling approximately $769) for the catalog’s top song “Better By Now”. Any future similar payments will be payable to the winner of this catalog.
