Weeks before the release of her brand new single, Beyonce has joined Rap market leader Nicki Minaj in contributing to record revenue figures secured by Pandora Radio this year.
Revenue, that dances to the merry beat of $181.6 million!
Full story below…
As listeners rushed to the service to stream new material from both acts ahead of their respective new releases, Carter and Minaj saw their material account for the rise in subscriptions made to the service.
This, seeing both entertainer’s contribute to the increase in subscription revenue, which now sits at 20% in the third and most recent quarter- a far cry from the 16.2% the company could boast of between January and March of this year.
Doing her part to boost the company’s profits via her own material and contributing verses to a number of the year’s highest selling Hip Hop efforts, Minaj’s contribution to Pandora’s growth 50.3% in the last year came as it watched its mobile advertising pull in $104.9 million despite suffering a net loss of of $1.7 million.
Loss, partially brought on by an increase in sales staff despite lowering the payments it is obliged to make to artists and rights holders through the non-profit performances rights organisation, ‘SoundExchange.’
Billboard Biz explain:
“The improvement in royalties was “purely driven by our ability to monetize the business,” CFO Mike Herring tells Billboard. With Pandora’s royalty costs fixed at around $21 per 1,000 hours — it pays fixed statutory royalties rather than a percent-of-revenue royalty — the company focuses on how to drive revenue per 1,000 hours. “This year in particular we turned a corner to monetize, and monetize mobile hours specifically,” says Herring.”
Fans can look forward to new LPs from both vocalists in 2014.

They’re the 2 of the only 3 successful black women out and you have to respect the grinds and hustles of them and Rihanna
And there the Navy was calling her a flop.
Yass Nicki!
Lets be real Beyoncé probably did most of that pushing I mean who is Nicki now?
Wow, good for them.
Of course Beyonce would, she even increased the value of a house in Australia just for standing outside on its porch.
Really? You Can’t Say Nothing Nice About Them Both? Smh
C’Mon Now !!!
I can only respect Nicki Minaj,Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Emeli Sande, Usher and Frank Ocean.
The other ovwrhyped one has got long fingers. And I’m not here for Pinocchio.
Yassssss Slaynika. And of course mighty respect for Queen Bey.
Whoop de f****** woo who cares? Nicki is flop and Beyonce is totally irrelevant
That’s great for them.
I need for them to do a song together !!!
Yasss….. In my dreams
I need for them to do a song together!!!
Slay me
a mix between “Check On It” and “Did It On Em” would be the s***!!!
@JoJo Lie from the pit of hell…
Which single is that Sam? Britney Jean will go gold in USA before the H-I-V+ f**** get a new single from TROLLyonce, and that is NEVER!!!!
THE STRUGGLE!!!
Kiiiiiii
I SERIOUSLY, LIKE SERIOUSLY DO NOT GET YOU!!!
WHY DO YOU COME AT BEYONCE SO HARD WHEN GAGA HAS WORKED WITH HER TWICE!
I SERIOUSLY FEEL LIKE THE MONSTERS & THE BEYHIVE SHOULD BE ON THE SAME PAGE….
TOGETHER WE ARE SUPPOSED TO KILL OFF THE KATYKATS AND NAVY…. JUST SAYING….
YOU MUST BE A CIARA STAN OR SOMETHING
Nicki has become totally irrelevant.
Beyonce single still hasn’t dropped yet?
I’M NOT GONNA EVEN ARGUE THIS….
NO AND IT’S IRRITATING!
THANK GOD I HAVE “ARTPOP” TO LISTEN TO, TO HOLD ME OVER…
I HOPE SHE RELEASES “MANiCURE” OR “GYPSY” OR “ARTPOP” NEXT I NEED A VIDEO FOR “ARTPOP” THATS HER BEST SONG ON THERE
SLAY NIKAAAAAAA!!!!! MY FAV RAPPER KILLING S***.
Did you hear about that manager accusing Rihanna stealing Patwas look lol
I like Xtina so don’t make me have to drag.
f-ckoff,they both did that.
AS QUIET AS IT’S KEPT I THINK PEOPLE ARE READY FOR NEW NICKI ALBUM AS WELL
I’M NOT EVEN A HUGE FAN OF HERS, BUT I WILL SAY I DO MISS HER ON THE RADIO AND SEEING HER EVERYWHERE… SHE’S VERY ENTERTAINING AND HAS GOOD MUSIC TOO
Beyonce needs to call GaGa so she can get another hit
Two Queens !
@beyhive b**** speak for yourself and nicki has been on everyones song this year she’s tired..n
REALLY? I FELT LIKE I HAVENT SEEN HER TOO MUCH THIS YEAR… BESIDES ON IDOL… BUT WHO THE HELL WATCHED THAT LOL
Beyonce tha queen.
f-cking dummy,how so she is off working on her new album,you retards just say the strangest thing.
Im sorry Nicki become such a flop she’s been on atleast 25 tracks this year and only one of those single were album to make top 30. Im ready for new Beyonce music tho i and the general public can do without new icki music.
grats to them both,they doing there thing.
Call me ignorant, but nowhere in this article do I see a direct correlation between Pandora’s increase in revenue and Nicki and Beyoncé’s musical contribution. Basically, what this says is, since Pandora’s revenues increased last year by 20% and because Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé both happened to release music during that time period, they are directly responsible for the increase. You could LITERALLY say this for any artist that is currently streaming on Pandora. Mess.
Why don’t you worry about TAOLG flopping like a fish out of water.
Not here for Trash Minaj she’s fading miss iggy is coming for that wig.
B**** U are totally delusional who the f*** is Iggy. Stuff that ugly b**** in a kangaroo and send it back to Aussie
WHO IS IGGY? & WHY ISNT SHE ON THE RADIO?
all off iggys singles flopped and her album is going to do the same . dont be delusionnal. iggy doesnt even have one bb hot 100 entry n she cant rap for s***. 😉
Two FLOPS. No one cares about either of them anymore
Nicki shitting on U b******!!! Rihanna stole the doobie wrap from a rapper in BK report that kiiii. Cici killed her last nite
Congrats to both of them !
you go queen bey I love you can’t wait for the album
I need to know in which bible its written that The Monsters must like the H-I-V+ f****!!
The H-I-V+ f**** are such sad individuals, they go around forcing other stans to like them, WHAT KIND OF SAD?? I would expect that from the lonely trannys that stan for Lana. Well I guess stans of flop artists struggle together
DEAD at the delusion!!!
@Cakelikegaga i said the same thing the hive is so desperate to be liked.
Ridiculous aint it???!!
The Bey-Minaj impact tho.
@SuperCisus stfu b**** weren’t you just talking s*** on Nicki a couple of days ago you fake t***** stanning h**.
Sis did u hear about Rihalienna stealing the doobie look from a rapper in BK kii that b**** is about to be in the same thief boat as Beyoldce kii
B**** I was dragging a barb because the b**** came for my fave b**** you mad because Lame-a is a nobody? Kii
@Lame-a the drunk
Sis Lana outsold Ciara whole flop discography with 1 album stupid f**
Does nicki know how to perform live yet or is she still walking accords the stage playing with her hair and lip synching? Girl bye!
Beyonce and Nicki Minaj
*Sips bleach
But she struggles to go platinum kii ci has two multplat albums, a Grammy, #1 single for 7 weeks and 7 top 10s. Billboard woman of the year b**** when will Lame-a
DEAD at the fake tea from the Lana stan
B**** Lana aint outsold no Ciara discography.. Goodies on its own has outsold Lana’s entire discography. Goodies has sold over 6 million worldwide and Lana is still hovering around 4 million units worldwide
WHY ARE LANA STANS FULL OF SO MUCH LIES?? STUPID TROLLS!!!
And don’t get me started on how Ciara’s Evolution did!!!
_/ _/
The G**** mad as s*** because nobody stood up for Rihaliennas phony ass speech kii
Ciara was best dressed at the amas forsure, i liked Rihannas first outfit but the 2nd outfit was a mess and that b**** know she tried it with that hair. Katy perry performance was so bad. Miley performance forgettable. GaGa actually slayed my life Rih was decent with diamonds and the rest were non factors.
Congratz Queen Bey….. The day Beyonce decide to do a song with nicki is the day i will no longer be a stan of hers. i will offically be joining C squad. oops i forgot ciara did songs with theplastic b****. well i will stan for tamar and kelly rowland.
congrats I guess Pandora is free anyway # shrugs
Beyonce if your smart you will not work with the joke that is known as Gimmick Minaj im still upset with Cici for putting that wack h** on her album.
Lmaaaao kelly Lazyland and Tamuppet two basic ass b****** kii
Beyonce would never work with Nicki. If she was going to she would have done that already. Nickis not even poppin like that anymore for her to even use her.
@super cisus whats the kii for? only thing ciara has over tamar is her hit song body party which i actually fell sorry for having to see her on live tv to see rihanna stole an award from her and have to see rihanna struggle a lil bit with her performance and she had to see rihanna recieving an icon award. tamar sold more albums, winning awards,on tour,and winning awards. kelly might be lazy at promoting her album,but lazy she is not…… she cashing a big check buy sitting beautifully on tv judging on a big singng comp.show and she featured on pop,rnb,and hip hop albums. she also outsold ciara with a little less promotion of her album. i like ciara,but u made me go there.
@Lovebird and Rosie, do you have lives?
Fans can look forward to new LPs from both vocalists in 2014.
_____________________________________________________
Dicki Garbaj a vocalist? Lmaooo that ugly plastic h** is nothing but a flop, she can’t even rap properly let alone sing.
37kara stans are mad that their fav didn’t win s*** and she remains a flop. Goodies didn’t sell 6 million lol, that h** is local, and her delusional stans think that it sold 3 million in the USA just because it’s certigied 3xPlatinum (because of shipments) but it did 2.7 million. It doesn’t matter, all girls outsold her discography with 1 album: Bey by DIL, Rihanna by GGGB, Lana by Born To Die, Katy by Teenage Dream, Gaga by The Fame and yet they try to come for someone else LOL
eeks before the release of her brand new single, Beyonce has joined Rap market leader Nicki Minaj in contributing to record revenue figures secured by Pandora Radio this year.
Weeks? I thought her new single was meant to come out last week, then 3rd DEC? No single is coming , cos beyonce knows she will not be able to top the chart. The delay, is just her way of coping. Rolling stone, said RIH RIH was the best performance on the night. LOL LOL so those tweets u send on her voice, look redundant. IThe viewing was up by 24%, so, u saying she could not sing mean……what???????Mean u continue to make a fool of yourself. You are a black blog in the UK, no one takes blacks from the UK seriously, especially we AMERICANS. LOL LOL
Rita WHORA: Word on the stree jay brown is giving her one last chance with her single and if that single is MOnster hit LIKE roar, THEY will scrap Rita’s sophomore album and end her contract, Hot. piping. tea, thanks to my connects at BMI.
LOL LOL at @ritaORAnation.
Believe it or not, every female MC gets replaced. Some just last longer than others. When Grand Hustle gets done with Iggy she will be replacing Nicki Minaj. Hate it or love it, Azealia Banks was next in line but lost her chance…
CHILE IGGY FIRST SINGLES FLOPPED & THERE IS NO HYPE FOR IGGY’S DEBUT ALBUM HERE IN THE STATES. NO TOP 100 SINGLES OR BILLBOARD. AMERICA IS NOT HER FOR IGGY WITH HER FAKE ACCENT… KIIIII
Wether u like it or not iggy is coming and she is got a little buzz going here in the states bcuz if she didn’t how else would she get nominated and presented at the vmas and emas? More blog sites post about her and mtv even let her interview katy perry . She came close to charting on the billboard with her single work which charted on the bubbling under hot 100 at #4. Cyl charted every other chart in the US besides hot 100. Her label just needs to promote her better here which is why she will be performing on late night with dave letterman show wednesday
The delusion is so thick. Nicki can’t be replaced because Nicki has made a lane for herself and is actually slaying in it. She actually has a BRAND even if we don’t always like it. If you really think someone will just come up and replace her you are dearly mistaken.
The same Iggy who is always begging her label to put her music on itunes?
ita WHORA: Word on the stree jay brown is giving her one last chance with her single and if that single is MOnster hit LIKE roar, THEY will scrap Rita’s sophomore album and end her contract, Hot. piping. tea, thanks to my connects at BMI.
LOL LOL at @ritaORAnation.
Hot fresh tea. Rita Whora does do drugs and all, but when she was rushed to hospital, she ” faked” it to buy more time from ROC who WANT HER TO DROP HER SINGLE IN DEC. They have pushed the single back 3 times and everyone is pissed. In 3 years, they have spent $ 30 million trying to make her happen, JAY brown is not happy that she is an disgraceful flop with sordid reputation. Rita is kinda smarter though. She pulls all these PR stunts to try and deflect. Reason why she ‘ got sick ‘ in miami, was cos, a week before she was in ATL and TY TY went in on her, so when she met up with calvin in Miami ( fake relation, they have same ROC manager; they both sleep with others, and it more of ROC thing to help raise both, mainly Rita’s profile) Calvin likes Vicky secrets models, he even tried to reach out to nina Agdal, a Danish Victoria secrets model.
Now, Rita is back in London, all drugged up and depressed cos Ty and Jay brown are closing the net on her.
*Slow sips this hot tea*
LOL @ritaoranation. Rita is even more angry and jealous of Rih. She accuses ROC of treating rih better than her. But, she is so scared of getting dropped, she begged ROC nation A&R to get Rih on track. Rih hates and is enjoying seeing her fall apart. Rih is only friends with Cara, to keep your friends close and enemies closer, Cara Delvigne tells Rih things about Rita. This is why Rita does not really trust Cara but cos Cara is blowing up as supermodel, she does not want to cut her out, yet.
LOL LOL @ritaorantion. So happy to see you get karma.
@ritaoranation. Beyonce has more or less cut rita off. Does not take her calls or respond to her text. Makes sure her people dont allow rita to kick backstage. She is not blatant, she just avoids RITA, in the way she does RIH RIH.
Post on SwaggerJackANNA being busted for stealing the doobie rap style from another up and coming artist kiii
Doobie wrap*
YASSSSSSSS!!!! My two faves winning! Pics can see the pressed trolls on here. Lol #StayMad. Can’t wait for these two to own 2014. I’m so ready!!! I need some saving from this crap music. I can only hold on to Artpop and MMLP2 as I wait for the slayage.
lip flop still aint gold, sis ? 😉
Kii, so are you f*** gonna start using Pandora streams as receipts now? Pandora is ghetto anyways, most o the people I see using it when I go to the states are white Tweens and ghetto hoodrats with prepaid Androids anyway. Pandora is local too. The hipsters/upper-class/rest of the world has already moved on to Spotify.
And absolute and utter death at Goodies selling 6 million. It’s hovering 3.5 million worldwide at best. Even if Mediatraffic is right (lol never) Lana still outsold every Cierror album.
that rap bin out for years,even the other day i saw someone in it,that b**** is looking shine off Riri,it was so obvious.
Tbh I forgot about nicki. Anywho **Pops in LIBAD dvd**
nicki accounted for 50.3% hip hop/rap increase in revenue for pandora and 34.5% increase in pop radio listens. beys numbers were impressive but they weren’t nicki’s numbers.
@BEYHIVE this^^^^
‘Beyonce JOINS Nicki Minaj’ dumb b****.
What on her newest flop album. Woops. Ciara wont have any relevancy until Micheal Jackson raises from the ground and does a little routine with her. She can always be Rihannas back up dancer 🙂
