The value of global music copyright surged to $45.5 billion in 2023, marking an 11% increase from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/business-of-music">previous year.</a>
This reflects the growing economic strength of music rights, which were valued at $25 billion in 2014. If current trends continue, music copyright could double in value over a decade.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Record Labels And Streaming: Key Drivers Of Growth</h3>
According to economist Will Page&#8216;s annual industry report (<a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/global-music-copyright-value-worth-2023-will-page/">via </a>Billboard), record labels accounted for the largest share of the music copyright market, generating $28.5 billion in 2023—a 21% year-over-year increase.

Streaming continued to dominate revenue sources, with a 10.4% growth rate. Physical music sales also performed strongly, as vinyl sales rose 15.4%, outpacing CDs in many regions. Page predicted vinyl could become a $3 billion industry by 2028, driven by higher unit prices and global demand.
Major publicly traded record labels such as Universal Music Group NV (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMGNF#OTC">UMGNF</a>), Warner Music Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMG#NASDAQ">WMG</a>), and Sony Group Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) Sony Music Entertainment were among the primary beneficiaries of these trends. 
UMG, for instance, reported $3.2 billion in Q3 2024 revenue, showing strong performance fueled by streaming and physical sales.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shifting Dynamics In Songwriter Royalties</h3>
Moreover, collective management organizations (CMOs), which collect royalties on behalf of songwriters and publishers, saw revenues rise by 11% to $12.9 billion in 2023. Digital collections from CMOs have now surpassed those from broadcast and radio, reflecting the dominance of streaming platforms over traditional media.
However, publishers are increasingly turning to direct licensing agreements, bypassing CMOs to avoid administrative delays and fees. 
"A song that spikes in mid-March, for example, takes 201 days to pay the artist and 383 days to pay the songwriter," Page explained. These delays can erode a third of songwriter revenue due to transaction costs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Music Surpasses Cinema</h3>
The music industry's recovery following the pandemic has enabled it to overtake cinema in terms of economic output. In 2023, music was 38% larger than cinema, a stark contrast to 2019 when cinema led by 33%. 
Music copyright figures reflect trade revenue that benefits rights holders, while cinema's $33.2 billion box office revenues are divided between distribution and production.
Companies like Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>), which operate in recorded music and live performance sectors, have capitalized on this momentum.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Streaming&#8217;s Global Trade Advantage</h3>
Streaming platforms have created new opportunities for artists from regions with lower royalty rates. North America and Europe, which account for 80% of streaming revenue growth, provide significantly higher payouts compared to Latin America and Asia. 
For example, Colombian artists like J. Balvin and Shakira earned nearly $100 million from U.S. streams in 2023, six times what they would have generated in their home country.
Publicly traded streaming platforms such as Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) and Tencent Music Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TME#NYSE">TME</a>) play a crucial role in this dynamic. Spotify benefits from premium subscription revenues in high-value markets, while Tencent Music caters to large audiences in Asia with a range of streaming and social entertainment services.

In 2021, Natera and Guardant Health filed false advertising cases against each other concerning statements both companies made more than three years ago about Guardant's Reveal test. Today, a jury issued a decision in Guardant's favor. We disagree with this decision and will ask the Court to overturn it.
The jury was asked to evaluate comparative advertisements that ran for a brief period in 2021 related to the performance of Guardant's Reveal test. This case had nothing to do with the validity or utility of Signatera, and certain key pieces of evidence supporting Natera's case were not included in this trial.

Wondering where you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41585240/if-the-average-american-household-is-a-millionaire-with-a-net-worth-of-1-06-million-why-do-peopl">land on the economic spectrum</a>? It can be tricky to pin down whether you consider yourself middle class, lower class or something else entirely.&nbsp;
Using income alone to define "class" doesn't always tell the whole story, but it's a helpful starting point. According to Pew Research, income levels and household size play a big role in determining where you might fit.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Here's a breakdown and some real-world numbers to help you figure it out.
Lower Class
The lower class is usually defined as households earning less than two-thirds of the median income. For many, this means struggling to cover essential expenses like housing, food and health care.
What the Numbers Say:
Income range: Generally under $50,000 annually for most households.
Specific thresholds for a three-person household:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Nationally: Less than $56,600 annually.</li>
<li>By state: As low as $35,142 in Mississippi.</li>
</ul>
Signs You Might Be Here:
<ul>
<li>You're living paycheck to paycheck.</li>
<li>It's hard to save for emergencies or retirement.</li>
<li>Things like medical care, transportation or rent stretch your budget to the limit.</li>
</ul>

Middle Class
The middle class is broad and often described as the financial "sweet spot." This group covers a huge range of incomes, but the key is a sense of stability – though it might not always feel secure.
What the Numbers Say:
Income range: Between two-thirds and double the median income or roughly $50,000 to $150,000 annually.
Specific thresholds for a three-person household:
<ul>
<li>Nationally: $56,600 to $169,800.</li>
<li>By state: In New Jersey, $64,224 to $192,692. In Mississippi, $35,142 to $105,438.</li>
</ul>
Signs You're Middle Class:
<ul>
<li>You're paying bills comfortably and affording occasional extras, like vacations or dining out.</li>
<li>Big expenses like college or buying a home are stressful but achievable.</li>
<li>You're saving for the future, but not as much as you'd like.</li>
</ul>
Upper Class
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40021172/what-income-makes-you-upper-class-heres-what-you-need-to-rank-among-the-top-20">upper class isn't just about a big paycheck – </a>it's often tied to assets like investments, real estate or business income. According to Motley Fool, the upper class has an average net worth of $793,120 to $2.65 million.
These households usually earn more than double the median income and experience greater financial flexibility.
What the Numbers Say:
Income range: Generally over $150,000 annually.
Specific thresholds for a three-person household:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Nationally: More than $169,800.</li>
<li>Metropolitan differences: In high-cost areas like San Jose, California, only 42% of adults are middle class, while 41% are upper class. In more affordable areas like Olympia, Washington, 66% of adults fall into the middle class.</li>
</ul>
Signs You Might Be Here:
<ul>
<li>You're investing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39037986/are-you-richer-than-you-realize-majority-of-millionaires-think-theyre-middle-class">watching your money grow</a> rather than just saving.</li>
<li>Debt feels manageable and strategic, not like a burden.</li>
<li>Luxuries – travel, dining or a second home – don't require financial trade-offs.</li>
</ul>
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
Other Factors That Matter
Income is a big puzzle, but it's not everything. Here are a few other factors that can influence where you land:
Location: Cost of living differences mean $80,000 goes much further in rural areas than in big cities.
Household Size: A family of five needs more to maintain the same standard of living as a single person.
Net Worth: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41193824/are-you-rich-enough-to-be-in-the-top-1-heres-both-the-income-and-net-worth-you-need-to-rank-amon">Beyond your paycheck</a>, assets like savings, real estate and investments make a difference.
Social Mobility: Access to education, health care and financial resources is huge in long-term wealth.
Labels like "middle class" or "upper class" are just labels. What matters most is how secure you feel and whether your financial goals are within reach.
If you aim to climb the economic ladder or solidify your financial standing, it might be time to bring in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">expert advice</a>.
