"At The Club" by Jacquees feat Dej Loaf - Publishing Royalties

"At The Club" came out in 2017 as a Cash Money single. It reached No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 40 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and it went platinum. Nine years later, in the last twelve months alone, it drew 137.3 million reported plays and paid just under $30,000, and that money arrived from 85 territories rather than one market holding on.

The income comes from three channels. Mechanical royalties, paid when the song is streamed or sold, are the largest at 53%. Public performance is 25% of the total, and it has paid between $7,680 and $8,375 in every one of the last four full years. Streaming synchronization, paid when a song is used in a video, is the newest and fastest of the three at 22%. About 70% of the money is domestic. The other 30% comes from abroad, led by the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. The four most recent quarters landed between $6,809 and $8,169, a tight range for a song this old.

The last twelve months appear to have softened about 16%. The prior year, though, included a one-time payment from the Mechanical Licensing Collective, which collects US streaming mechanicals. Set that payment aside on both sides, and the gap narrows to about 4%. Measured against the year before that, the current period is up.

The case here is durability, not growth. A platinum record that still moves 137 million plays a year, across 85 territories and three royalty types, has settled at a level it holds. Because the return is fixed, the question is not how high earnings can climb but how long the song takes to pay that amount out. That rewards exactly what this catalog has shown for four straight years: it keeps showing up. The upside sits in streaming synchronization, which has more than tripled since 2022 as video platforms pay more for older songs.

The catalog is one song, recorded by two artists who came up together in the 2010s.

Jacquees was born Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax in Georgia in 1995. He signed to Cash Money Records in 2014 and became one of the decade's best-known young R&B singers. He holds several RIAA multi-platinum records. He has been nominated at the BET Awards and the iHeartRadio Music Awards, including for Best Male R&B/Pop Artist.

DeJ Loaf was born Deja Monét Trimble in Detroit in 1991. She has recorded since 2011 and has worked with Roc Nation, BMG, and Columbia. XXL named her to its 2015 list of the most promising new rappers, and she opened for Nicki Minaj on tour that year. Her half-sung, half-rapped style was widely copied in Midwestern hip-hop.

"At The Club" puts those two voices together. Cash Money released it in 2017, with a video in September. It reached No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 40 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and went platinum. It appears on the pair's joint project "Fuck a Friend Zone," and the two reunited for a sequel in February 2025.
