This is known as a mechanical royalty. For streaming platforms, where the user controls which songs to play and when, the digital reproduction takes place when the user presses “play.” Under mechanical royalties, every time an artist's song is played in this way, the artist is due a certain amount of money.

If you are a songwriter, you will likely be paid what are known as royalties every time your song is broadcast on the radio. This is because U.S copyright law protects the work of the composer, making him or her the primary recipient of dividends stemming from radio promotion.

Originally Answered: How much does an artist typically make each time their song is played on the radio? In the USA, larger commercial radio stations pay 12¢ per play, college stations pay 6¢ per play. Half that money goes to the publisher, the other half goes to the songwriter (or songwriters).

Those members of the band who do not write the songs tend to get paid only a portion of money that is generated from live shows, and (if they're signed to the label) revenue from the sale of the record or download.
