In streaming revenue, record labels went from collecting $1.8 billion (2014) to $5.7 billion (2017) in the U.S. Jake Millan, the manager of Yung Bans, is worried about musicians’ unawareness of a label’s $1 million proposal and how it works. “The A&R [reps] are doing their best to persuade us – taking us out to eat, flying us to hotels, stuff like that. It’s super insane how fast artists are coming up right now.” – Jake Millan
