How Much Money Did Taylor Swift Make By Returning To Streaming

Four TaylorSwift albums returned to the “Billboard” 200 album chart this week. And while she may have had 47.51 million streams in her first week back on streaming sites, that doesn’t necessarily translate into a ton of money.

According to “Billboard,” all those streams translated into about $310,000 in revenue in the first week, based on the average per-stream rate of $0.0063, although how much Taylor gets of that depends on her label deal. The week prior, when her albums has limited availability,  she earned around $44,000.

She’d also earn some publishing royalties from those streams, which comes to about $64,000, an increase from $9,000 the week before, but that money’s divided by all the writers on the songs as well as publishers.

Overall, that means Taylor generated about $418,000 in revenue by coming back to streaming, which isn't too shabby.
