(o)_(o) 8 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 So basically/TLDR: Katy has to sell over 3 times what Gaga has to sell to make the same amount of money for their respective songs. Considering Gaga is a stronger touring act, it's probably no wonder why the networth difference is pretty substantial even though Katy is as if--even if not more--successful in terms of singles Roar Writer(s) Katy Perry Lukasz Gottwald Max Martin Bonnie McKee Henry Walter Producer Dr. Luke Cirkut Katy Legally Has 20% of the writing royalties. Katy Legally has 0% of production royalties. Applause Writer(s) Lady Gaga DJ White Shadow Producer Lady Gaga DJ White Shadow[3] Gaga has 50% of writing royalties. Gaga has 50% of the production royalties. So math: Now, according to http://www.gearslutz.com/board/rap-hip-hop-engineering-production/150564-producer-royalties.html, producing accounts for 3% of royalties. Writing accounts for 10% http://members.nashvillesongwriters.com/photos /Songwriter_Contracts_Seminar_NSAI_TNVLA.pdf The rest surprisingly goes to everyone else, which is why people like Jimmy Iovine pimp your faves. But for Gaga: ((.10*.50)+(.50*.03))*100 = 6.5% of sales revenue for "Applause" But for Katy: ((.10*.20)+(0*.03))*100 = 2% of sales revenue for "Roar" = Gaga has 3.25 times the revenue.

(o)_(o) 8 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 so to make up for the under performance of applause compared to roar, we have to use math and go into who produces and writes more? No, why the diverging? People work to get money and recognition, correct? Gaga does not like to be seen as 'the same' as everyone else, correct? Gaga has the best critical acclaim from people she would even care about the opinions of, correct? She is getting recognition and money. At the end of the day, whatever frustrations she has about not being #1 will be comforted with the fact that she is getting the ultimate applau$e. I'm sure Gaga would rather have her double 50% royalties than sing something someone left on the table for her.
