The Cardiff, Wales indie-rock outfit Los Campesinos! are diving headfirst into Wrapped season — that time of year when streaming apps hand you your music-listening stats (congrats, you listened to 24 days of music!)

But instead of just sharing their own Wrapped graphics, the band went full transparency mode and revealed what they actually earn from each streaming platform.

It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes info fans often wonder about: how much do artists really make from streams? To keep things clean and accurate, Los Campesinos! narrowed the data to their 2024 LP All Hell, the only album the band fully owns through their own label.

The band did share a couple of these notes before jumping into the data:

• "Our digital distributor does not take a percentage for distribution, rather we pay an annual subscription to them.
• This is not representative of income across all of our albums. As you will see, this album’s streams are greater due to it being a new release, with nearly half the album’s annual streams coming in the first 3 months.
• There are many reasons, unrelated to artist reimbursement, why Spotify is the dirt worst of the streaming platforms. I trust by now you are aware of these.
• I want to make it very clear that I am not criticising anyone for using streaming platforms. Everyone streams, living is hell and we all love music."

All Hell was released in July 2024, and they provided a month-by-month breakdown of its total streams and earnings. For anyone reading this in the U.S., the current exchange rate sits around £1 = $1.33 USD (which also means $1 = £0.75). Using that, £31,847.38 — the figure the band highlights — comes out to roughly $42,400 USD. For a seven-piece band, that’s about $6,050 per member for a full year of streaming revenue from that one album.

They also broke down revenue by platform — and this is where it gets really interesting. As the band noted:

“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period.”

Since most listeners used Spotify, you can imagine how much potential income got left on the table.

As a music lover, these are exactly the analytics worth paying attention to. They give listeners a bit more power in choosing where — and how — they stream to best support the artists they love. And if you want to support Los Campesinos! directly, you can purchase All Hell straight from their Bandcamp.
