Stories
Money, Money, Money 🎶🎶🎶

The following article has been reprinted without the express written consent of the internet…

Spotify paid the music industry more than $11B in royalties last year, the company said 1-28-2026. The payout is reportedly the largest ever to musicians.

Musicians receive an average of $0.004 per stream, with compensation varying based on their share of platform wide streams. Last year’s payout exceeded 2024’s by $1B; Spotify says half of the sum went to independent artists and labels. The company also claimed there are more artists making over $100K annually on the platform today than artists who were stocked on record shelves during the CD era. Spotify says its royalties account for about 30% of the recording industry’s total revenue.

Homework!

The following article has been partially reprinted without the express written consent of the internet…

The 10 songs everyone remembers, even if the artists have faded away.  America has seen countless one-hit wonders, but a few are impossible to forget.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT:

List your Top Ten favorite one hit wonder songs.  Bring your list to Rotary this Friday.  Hand said list in to Luke.  He will aggregate the results and publish in his next bulletin.  Please put your name on your list. Mild fun may (or may not) be poked at you in my next bulletin.  I’ll keep an eye on Lady Whistledown to ensure discretion...

The list that came across my email has no songs from the 2000’s.  It has only one song from the 1960’s.  The other 9 are from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.  I will reveal the list (not Lady Whistledown) on Friday.

And now for some Rotary – SELL BABY SELL!
 

Tom McGrath states that by the time we are eating lunch together at Rotary, we will have over 600 tickets sold.  Old math or new math, that leaves 400 more tickets to SELL!!!  Have YOU bought your ticket(s)?  Have you sold any tickets to others?  There is another early bird drawing coming up in 10 days.  At Kingston Lanes.  Show up any time after 5:00 and the drawing will be at 6:00.  This is our one and only fundraiser.  Talk it up.  Email it out.  Tom McGrath has sent us all a very colorful PDF to attach to our email solicitation.        LET’S ALL DO THIS!!!
