This COVID-19 pandemic gonna be an apocalypse for some Zimdancehall artists fo sho.
I mean no touring revenue for the summer. Not even sure if you gonna be able to tour for the next year or two -- less music royalty payments coming in and barely selling any merchandise. It's tough for real.

It’s messed up bruh because touring is both Zimdancehall and Zim Hip Hop artist's main source of income. No festivals, no tours, and nothing in sight for the foreseeable future. BTW, oans laughed when a few artists got caught being taxi drivers and etc. Now you gonna see a lot more of that.

That COVID-19 Coronavirus is about to have all these oans scrambling out here. Oans show money has done dried up. I’m seeing a lot more Zim recording artists selling chamba and mushonga online.

How much do recording artists make if they get 1 million streams on DSPs?
Borrowdale Barron

Roughly speaking, 1 million streams = $9,000 dollars. But that money is going to your label, your distribution, then you, your team, your ngoma, and chinaira... etc.

The impact of COVID-19 on Zim artists it depends on the artist. However, most of them will suffer.

One million streams = $9k... on what platform? ??
Scorpio

Lmao, every loan averaging that would be a multi-millionaire by now. ???
Your numbers are wrong bruh.
Black Panther
grand master
For sure, because 1,000,000 streams divided by $9,000 is $1 per 112 views is it not?
Borrowdale Barron

It’s out there -- multiple DSP sources, look it up.

$9 000? Well, I guess if it’s a mixture of streaming platforms maybe but if it’s all on Spotify it’s about $4 000.
