Duwap Kaine - Songwriter Royalties

In its early years, this catalog moved like many music royalty stories do—forward. It opened with $2,570.70 in Year 1, then jumped sharply in Year 2, only to give a bit back in Year 3. The real story shows up when you zoom out. Across the full five-year window, earnings land at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 17.28%. That number sits well above the median for similar catalogs analyzed by Roylaty Exchange.

Underneath those percentages is time. With a Dollar Age of 5.62 years, these works have been earning long enough to prove they’re not just momentary favorites. They’ve had multiple years to rise, dip, and stabilize—and they’re still generating.
