Streaming money: Gary Numan earned £37 from a million streams

"I had a statement a while back and one of my songs had had over a million plays, million streams, and it was £37. I got £37 from a million streams" - English singer Gary Numan told Sky News. He put out another example - "I printed out, I think it was about a year ago, a statement - my streaming statement came in and I didn't look at it, I just put it to print, and I looked over about half an hour later, it was still printing. It was hundreds and hundreds of pages. And the end of it was, like, £112. It was barely worth the [paper] it was printed on". "The solution's simple," he told Sky - "the streaming companies should pay more money. They're getting it for nothing".
