What’s happened with make me? Why’s it rising?

The leading model / actor from Make Me's music video is participating in a UK's reality TV show right now called "Love Island". Turns out that he "confessed" to his love interest on the show (Laura Anderson) that he kissed Britney Spears on a music video . . . . even though she was polite she was visibly jealous inmediately asking if Britney was single at the time, etc . . . she got a bit insecure for a moment saying Britney was pushing 40 and that she was not even 30 prompting the guy to calm her by explaining to her that it was only a music video. . .

. . . It generated quite good TV and became viral and of course now its on a bunch of portals and news sites in the UK (The sun, etc) reporting that this guy appeared on a Britney Spears music video as the highlight of his career and that his girlfriend (Laura) is jealous, some portals are even twisting the info by saying the guy hooked up with Britney and all of the sites are posting details of the music video, that the song is called "Make Me" and leaving screenshots of the video and even the link of it . . . . . so people are now watching the "Make Me" music video out of curiousity to see the guy kissing Britney Spears.

Yeah, and it's actually up to #216 now The music video views skyrocketed too. It was at 59.8 million views just two hours ago and now it's up to 60.3 million. That's amazing considering it usually gets 10k views per day at the most. 500k+ UK views in just a couple of hours.

It should be noted that YouTube views count for the UK chart now.

LOL yeah I also noticed that, the video jumped quickly to +60m views. Clearly people there are checking the music video out of curiousity after the news and viral tv moment came out. . . and those who watched and liked the song are buying it.

#285 Make Me...

Before you posted this I was just reading the news surrounding the "Make Me" music video that are going quite viral on the UK gossip news right now. Surprised there's already some kind of effect on the chart performance.

Get those extra royalties with that co-written song Queen Britney

2015-2016

Vegas has been good for Spears. For an act without an album, she sold a respectable 923,000 digital tracks, generated 350 million streams and earned her songs $500,000-plus in publishing royalties. She reaped only $31,000 of that though, because she uses outside songwriters.

https://www.billboard.com/articles/news ... -rich-list

2016-2017

Spears’ Las Vegas residency helped push her live take-home pay to $9.5 million, while new album Glory contributed to $1.2 million in royalties, with 529 million combined on-demand streams and 250,000 album sales total across her catalog

2017-2018

While the bulk of Spears’ income came from live shows and her Las Vegas residency, she netted another $927,000 from her recorded music, including 548 million streams -- about 200 million more than the average generated by the heritage artists on this list

https://www.billboard.com/photos/846583 ... ney-makers

1,427B streams on US in the last 3 years with only 1 album and 3 singles released

she had 1.2B on-demand in 2016 october, 5 months after the 2015/2016 article

So is certainly that she has over 2B streams on United States

Other interesting thing is that Glory has over 199,720,500 on-demand streams, so Britney made 877M catalog streams on US in the last two years

Her streaming is better than I expected, and she ranks 3rd female, that is also impressive so far in her career!

[Instinct]

Yeah. 548million streams are equivalent to 365K units.

I'm really glad that she's already starting to earn much more money through streaming than actual sales, it means that even though she isn't really a streaming force she's adapting with times in a moderate way and earning more through streaming.

Just look at the figures, she earned just a bit more than $200K from pure sales units while she earned over $600K from streaming.

Between pure sales, streaming and publishing coming from her music she earns close to $1million every year on average (when she's not active, just catalogue-wise and from US alone).

Yep. I like how Billboard pointed this out.

While the bulk of Spears’ income came from live shows and her Las Vegas residency, she netted another $927,000 from her recorded music, including 548 million streams -- about 200 million more than the average generated by the heritage artists on this list.

I'm very shocked she ranked higher than in 2016 But then again, 2017 was the biggest year for her residency in terms of gross, ticket sales, average per show, etc.

In terms of female artists, she ranks at #3, behind Lady Gaga and Celine Dion

#1 Lady Gaga
#2 Celine Dion
#3 Britney Spears
#4 Faith Hill
#5 Ariana Grande

She's still a very profitable artist.

[nympho]

So I’m 12 months she actually sold 365k in album sales just in the USA!

No

For album streams it’s 1,500 streams makes 1 album sales In the USA so yes

Well, it would be album equivalent, or units, not album sales.

Anyway, the Billboard article says her total streams this year are 548 million. You’re already converting that into album equivalent units (365k), and then you take that figure again, divide it by 150 and say she has sold also 3.6 million singles...

[MrLeonix]

Yeah. 548million streams are equivalent to 365K units.

So I’m 12 months she actually sold 365k in album sales just in the USA and roughly 3.6 million singles, just from streaming!

That’s actually not that awful!

[Instinct]

Britney ranks at #30 on Billboard's "Top Money Makers" list

While the bulk of Spears’ income came from live shows and her Las Vegas residency, she netted another $927,000 from her recorded music, including 548 million streams -- about 200 million more than the average generated by the heritage artists on this list. LAST YEAR: 39

Please note that this list is US only, so her Asian tour is excluded, as are her non-music related endeavors (such as her perfumes).

She received 548 million streams in the US last year, which equals to 365k album sales.

As of October 2016, she had 1.2 billion streams in the US



So not counting October 9-December 31, 2016 + January 1-July 20, 2018, she has 1.748 billion streams in the US. Most likely over 2 billion in total.

Happy second anniversary to "Make Me" ... One of her very best tunes

- #17 on the Hot 100
- Almost 100 million streams on Spotify
- Certified Platinum by the RIAA
- Top 20 Pop Radio hit

Not bad ... It was a cute moderate / minor hit she had in America 18 years into her career.
