YoungBoy Never Broke Again's "Rearview" - Producer Royalties

YoungBoy Never Broke Again is the most prolific rapper of his generation and the first artist in any genre to log 100 career entries on the Billboard Hot 100. “Rear View,” his April 14, 2023 collaboration with Atlanta R&B singer Mariah the Scientist, arrived a week ahead of Don’t Try This At Home, which debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 and became his fifth consecutive top-ten album

The earnings follow the pattern most new releases do. A high first period while the record is in rotation, then a decline as that window closes: $3,609 in 2H2023, $973 in 1H2024, $833 in 2H2024. What makes this one worth a look is how early it flattened out. The next statement came back to $905, and the two after it landed at $1,084 and $1,073, within 1% of each other. The trailing twelve months is 24% ahead of the prior twelve. At a dollar age of 3.47 years, this is a young asset showing that behavior early
That improvement shows up across the platform mix. Amazon’s payments nearly tripled. Spotify grew 63% and YouTube roughly doubled. Pandora added 36%. Apple Music, already the largest payor here, grew 13%. Apple Music has no free, ad-supported tier. Every play it reports comes from a paying subscriber, which on a direct-payment basis produces more per stream than services where most listening is ad-supported. 

This is a track by an established artist, and the early consistency is the proof. Records from artists with a built-in audience find their level faster, because the listening does not have to be built after release. This one has already taken its release-window drop, held steady across the last three statements, and come in ahead of the prior twelve months on every major platform. 

“Rear View,” released April 14, 2023, pairs YoungBoy Never Broke Again with Mariah the Scientist and peaked at No. 50 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. YoungBoy Never Broke Again is a Grammy-nominated Baton Rouge rapper and the first artist in any genre to log 100 career entries on the Billboard Hot 100, with a long run of top-ten albums on the Billboard 200. Mariah the Scientist is an Atlanta R&B singer whose profile has risen considerably since this record came out: she has since taken her first No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart and her first top-40 entry on the Hot 100.

The recording appeared as a single and then on Don’t Try This At Home, released April 21, 2023 through Never Broke Again and Motown Records, YoungBoy’s fifth consecutive top-ten debut on the Billboard 200.
