It looks like I have a lot of plays in my artist analytics but my revenue doesn’t seem to be tracking with it, what gives?

We send royalties to your account as soon as we receive streaming reports from the platforms. These are usually paid out 2 to 3 months after the streams happen, so your earnings for a release will always be somewhat delayed. 

If you believe you’re missing royalties from a release that came out more than three months ago, it could be because of abnormal streaming activity, like paid promotion through a third-party service that uses bots. This is against the DSPs’ terms of use, and platforms will withhold royalties related to streams they suspect to be attributable to bot-farms.
