Smashing Payouts is a thought starter, not a set of books. Every number is a best guess built from public industry rules of thumb. It isn't the band's actual contracts, splits or earnings, and it isn't financial, legal or tax advice.
By using redcrowlabs.com/smashing-payouts you agree to these terms. If you don't, please don't use the site.
Every default on the page is an assumption: ticket prices, deal splits, royalty rates, per-stream payouts, partnership shares and who is owed what. Real recording, publishing, touring and partnership agreements are private, vary widely and change over time. Songwriting credits and lineups are taken from public sources and may be incomplete or wrong.
The site is provided "as is," with no warranty of accuracy, completeness or availability. Don't rely on it for any decision about money, contracts or careers. Ask a qualified music lawyer, accountant or business manager for that.
Smashing Payouts isn't affiliated with or endorsed by The Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin, D'arcy Wretzky, Kiki Wong, any other musician named, or any label, publisher, promoter, ticketing company, streaming service, radio service, collection society or agency mentioned. Band, artist, song and company names are used only to describe and comment on how the music business works.
The Smashing Payouts name, design and code are the property of Red Crow Labs. Song titles, band names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. The title typeface is Lansbury FG by Andreas Höfeld (fontgrube.de), used under its free license.
