Imagine earning money every time someone streams a song, purchases an album, or a track is used in a commercial. That’s the premise of royalty investing—an increasingly popular way to generate passive income. Royalty Exchange allows investors to bid on royalty catalogs tied to some of the most iconic albums in music history.
A recent sale for $898,000 involved the producer royalties for two standout rock albums: Slipknot’s All Hope Is Gone and Simple Plan’s self-titled album. Here’s a detailed look at the financial performance, the music catalog’s historical relevance, and why royalty investing could be an exciting addition to your portfolio.
The sale included royalties from sales, streaming, and synchronization rights (TV, films, commercials). These royalties are tied to the producer’s share of sound recordings, which earns a larger percentage of streaming revenue compared to composition rights.
Slipknot – All Hope Is Gone
Slipknot’s All Hope Is Gone was a career-defining album for the metal giants, featuring songs that became permanent fixtures in their live performances. The single “Psychosocial” earned a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance and remains a fan-favorite with millions of Spotify streams and YouTube views.
With Slipknot continuing to tour and release new material, the band’s older albums consistently see a spike in streams. Additionally, the group announced plans to release unreleased material from the All Hope Is Gone recording sessions, which could renew interest in the original album.
Simple Plan – Self-Titled Album
Simple Plan’s pop-punk anthem-filled third album is a staple in playlists for early 2000s nostalgia. With the recent resurgence of interest in pop-punk (fueled by artists like Machine Gun Kelly and Blink-182), the album’s streaming numbers continue to grow.
The catalog's earnings increased 21% year-over-year, with streaming royalties growing by 40%, thanks to platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This reflects broader music industry trends where streaming continues to drive royalty payouts.
