Wow,

I never realized what superstars some of us on this forum are until now, but now I know. We are blessed!

Read some interesting stats on a songwriter’s blog today. Really makes you think.

48,000 songwriters in Nashville trying to make it

1,305 songs recorded a year on major labels

85% of songs going to insider writers (i.e producers)

75 songwriters getting 1 or more cuts per year

Less than 1% of all albums sell more than 1,000 copies/mechanical royalties = 9.10 cents per song

Average take home of the 75 successful “placed writers with cuts” = $91.00

People who don't get cuts that year after working on it all year = 47,925

Investment = 7 years of living in a storage unit, cleaning tables, and taking songwriting classes

Given that I made a lot more than that streaming songs on Spotify last year (and even some Complete Album sales, woo-hoo!) I can say:

I am among the HIGHEST PAID SONGWRITERS IN THE WORLD!!!!! ALL RIGHT!! Two pizzas tonight baby!!!

My investment: Band-in-a-Box and a free version of Cakewalk.

Thank you PG Music!!!

Who says home recording doesn’t bring home the bacon!!!!!!!!!
