Idols In Concert – Stats – 11/13/14

Six acts from five different reality competition shows checking in this week. Canadian Idol’s Jacob Hoggard is the lead singer of Hedley who made $186K in Kingston Ontario. BGT’s most famous runner-up, Susan Boyle tours the South with concerts in Durham, Clearwater, Jacksonville and Melbourne. They’ve right-sized her tour at 2K with Durham and Melbourne selling out and the other two concerts above 90%. So You Think You Can Dance is on tour and they performed for 3,253 in Montreal – Idol and The Voice would be happy with those numbers these days. Season 11 Idol Winner Phillip Phillips headlined in Durham on November 2nd and Season 8 Idol Winner Kris Allen opened for a sold-out Boyce Avenue concert in Chicago. X-Factor’s Cher Lloyd was in Baltimore.

Taylor Swift famously yanked her songs from Spotify a few weeks ago claiming they don’t pay enough. This has started a bit of a PR War. Aloe Blacc talked to WIRED about the situation last week about the low pay-outs to song-writers from streaming sites. A million spins on Pandora will earn the song-writers just $90. “Wake Me Up” has yielded 168M streams in the and that has resulted in $12,359 in Pandora royalties (it is unclear if the 168M includes Spotify streams and what they paid). Jason Aldean has joined Taylor in pulling his album. Spotify has shot back with a blog post stating they’ve paid $2B in royalties (seems they combine domestic and international royalties). Taylor has had her manager respond with an article in BB talking about how she only earned $496,044 in Royalties from Spotify last year. Fun with statistics.
