Leveraging our size, experience and expertise, We are able to negotiate the best service deals for our rights holders with retail partners. We approach every decision with the aim of building solutions within a framework of simple and clear contracts, ensuring a fair distribution of value with its artists.
"We are committed to protecting the interests, creativity, and independence of the artists and labels we work with, and we believe that transparency is the foundation of trusting relationships. For this reason, clear, detailed, and comprehensive financial reports are generated monthly directly within Backstage. In the event of any external processing delays, the corresponding statements will be fully updated and available in the following month within 10–15 days."
Stay on top of your streams on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube, Deezer and more in one place. You can also see playlist pickups on Spotify and Apple and monitor the performance on those playlists over time. We offers the transparency you need to help you make informed decisions about your releases.
Digital streaming platforms notify us of your sales in various formats, so we consolidate all this data into clear, easy-to-read monthly financial statements delivered directly to your account. You can generate detailed breakdown reports for your catalog, artists, or sub-labels whenever you need. We maintain complete transparency by clearly displaying gross earnings, deducted commissions, and your net payable balance.
We have eliminated minimum account balance limits—your revenue is yours starting from as little as 1 €/$. Payout thresholds and terms apply based on your chosen payment method:
• Payoneer: Minimum payout 50 €
• Bank Transfer: Minimum payout 55 €
• Crypto (Skl Laby Platform): 0% platform commission ($9 / €9 fixed network transaction fee)
• Local Bank / T-Bank Transfer: Standard currency exchange fee only
Digital Revenue Processing & Balance Clearance
Digital revenue processing and balance clearance function as follows. Below is the detailed sequence of how store payouts and balance unlocking operate within Backstage:
Monthly Report Accrual: As soon as statements are received from digital stores (DSPs), your revenue is immediately calculated and displayed in your balance to ensure full operational transparency.
Upstream Threshold Requirement: The display of funds in your balance reflects accrued earnings; however, withdrawal availability requires Waves Music Group to first meet the aggregate upstream distributor/DSP threshold requirements.
Settlement Clearance: Store payouts follow a standard 30–60 day accounting cycle, during which funds undergo financial, security, and currency clearing.
Automated Unlocking: Once the primary transfer is cleared and credited to the company account, the "REQUEST PAYMENT" button unlocks automatically for your available balance.
Direct Payout Execution: Upon submitting your payout request, funds are transferred via your selected payout method (Payoneer, Bank Transfer, Crypto - Sky Lab Platform, or Local/T-Bank - RU) within standard processing times.
