Music platforms are rolling out a lot of big things this quarter, from new royalty proposals, to new playlist formats, to new data features.

Let’s catch up on **five of the biggest recent developments** in music streaming.

And to make it easy, here’s [a quick video recap!](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyCGfO2Orou/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fweb%5Fbutton%5Fshare%5Fsheet)

## 1\. Controversy over the “artist-centric” royalty model

First, the [debate continues over Deezer’s proposed “artist-centric” royalty model](https://www.billboard.com/pro/universal-deezer-artist-centric-royalty-model-debate/?ref=hypebot.com), which aims to **pay less per-stream to artists who get very few plays, and more to artists who get more plays**, putting an emphasis on music that listeners actually searched for, as opposed to more passive listening.

## 2\. New data about your music on TIDAL

**[TIDAL Artist Home](https://artists.tidal.com/login?ref=hypebot.com) has made a few additions** to your artist dashboard, including:

- Your top 5 tracks
- Your top 10 countries
- And the age breakdown of your listeners

## 3\. New Spotify Promo Cards for you (*maybe*?)

Spotify is bringing its [“Promo Cards” to songwriters](https://artists.spotify.com/blog/a-new-way-to-share-the-songs-youve-written-on-spotify?ref=hypebot.com). Which is cool. But you have to **already have an active Songwriter Page** or *Written By* playlist on Spotify for it to work.

## 4\. New Daylist format on Spotify

[Daylist](https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-09-12/ever-changing-playlist-daylist-music-for-all-day/?ref=hypebot.com) is a newly-launched Spotify format that serves up music **customized to your daily patterns**, so if you listen to Classical during coffee, and EDM at work, and hip-hop at the gym, it’ll try to match those moods throughout your day.

## 5\. New in-the-moment listening via Spotify Jam

[Spotify also rolled out something called JAM](https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-09-26/spotify-jam-personalized-collaborative-listening-session-free-premium-users/?ref=hypebot.com), which encourages people on the same wi-fi network — though you can also invite people around the world — to **listen together in real-time and collaborate on the playlist**.

Can you imagine the fights that will ensue when one of your friends kills the party vibe by adding [some weird track](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Several%5FSpecies%5Fof%5FSmall%5FFurry%5FAnimals%5FGathered%5FTogether%5Fin%5Fa%5FCave%5Fand%5FGrooving%5Fwith%5Fa%5FPict?ref=hypebot.com) to the queue of your dance mix? Awkward!
