Methodology limits

  • Gross catalog revenue, artist-side share, label share, publisher share, and writer share are separated only where structured split data exists.
  • Top-song links and platform references are public context signals; they are not audited payout disclosures.
  • Catalog sale context is included only where supporting information is available; absence of a sale adjustment does not prove no transaction exists.
