I do.
I asked that because licencing is a one-off payment that does require some work, in terms of negotiation, drawing up the deal etc.
Royalties you don’t really need to do anything.
They make a load of money all over the place but Mr Brightside is another example
according to a 2017 report by the British Phonographic Industry, Mr Brightside is also the most-streamed song released before 2010
That’s, like, a lot of songs.
Christmas songs are anomalous though, because (a) there are probably only about 30-40 that get played regularly and (b) once you’re canon, that’s your income sorted for life.
I’m sure I once read that Just Like Christmas pretty-much saved Low from having to stop making music.

This was the song that I thought of when I saw the topic title
Essentially the correct answer to the OP
Lyrics to that song are Yewtree AF…
earns way more than 35k a year
For context; Sting makes about $2000 per day ($730,000+ a year) from ‘Every Breath You Take’
what does biggie make?
A fair portion of that will be from Puff Daddy, too.
Think Jona Lewie was a bit of an anomaly because he owned 100% of the publishing of Stop the Cavalry too, which isn’t that common
yep - 100% of the royalties from ‘I’ll be missing you’ goes to Sting
Maybe the Kate Nash one?
Not heard it for a while though so maybe people don’t listen to it anymore. I bet she got a rubbish deal out of it too.
zilch
no wonder he died
Bittersweet Symphony. Oh wait…
