How and When Do I Get Paid?

Understanding Royalty Reports & Payments

As an Anti-Joy Artist, you will have access to royalty reports and payments as soon as Anti-Joy receives and processes royalties from streaming services and stores.

Streaming services usually deliver these reports monthly, and they reflect sales from about 3-5 months ago. This means that if someone streamed your song yesterday, the royalties for it won’t show up in your Anti-Joy wallet until 3 months from now.

Note 1: Different Reporting Times & Frequencies

Not all streaming services report at the same time or frequency. Each store and streaming service delivers reports and payments on their own schedule. Therefore, it’s very unlikely that you will receive updated Apple and Spotify numbers on the same day.

Note 2: Different Distributors

Streaming services don't pay all distributors at the same time. Anti-Joy is sometimes first, but not always. This means that if you have music online through another distributor, that distributor may reflect your Spotify (and other streaming services) numbers before or after Anti-Joy does.

When you request a withdrawal from your wallet, your money will typically be sent within 1-14 days of the request.
