REVENUE CHART: "SICKO" BUCKS
Travis Scott amasses in excess of $1m from assorted tracks on our Song Revenue Chart this week, with "Sicko Mode" leading the charge and raking in more than $200k. Nicki Minaj, meanwhile, nets close to $800k with tracks from Queen (including "FEFE"). Her "Barbie Dreams" arrives at #4.
Juice WRLD, Maroon 5 f/Cardi B, Tyga f/Offset and Post Malone are among those charging northward.
UMG has a commanding 60%, Sony 28%, WMG has 8% and the redoubtable "other" takes 4%. You can peruse the whole kit and kaboodle here.
