Via: Music Ally

There’s a story going round this week, originating from the Swedish media, that Lady Gaga only earned $167 from a million streams of her Poker Face single on Spotify. Not a great advert for the service – in fact, it ties into earlier grumbles from artists about the money they’re making from Spotify plays.

The only problem with the story? It’s not true. Well, that’s what Spotify says, anyway. The company has issued a statement to Music Ally slapping down the rumour, which focused on payments made to the star by Swedish collecting society STIM.
