RPM is the number that changes decisions
Stream counts tell an artist they are being heard. Revenue per thousand units tells a label which platforms and which territories are worth the marketing spend — and it is the figure most artist-facing dashboards quietly omit, because it requires the revenue and the units to have been reconciled against each other rather than reported side by side.
- RPM per platform, and a blended rate across all of them
- Payout RPM alongside gross, so the artist's share is never a separate calculation
- Territory and period breakdowns on the same reconciled rows
