Whenever a new royalty statement is available, you can view a summary in your Spare Music account. You’ll also have the option to download a CSV file that breaks down each individual sales line contributing to that month’s revenue. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the columns
ID: An internal Spare Music ID used to track a specific sale. Use this if you have questions about an item in your royalty statement.
Sales Date: The date or approximate date the sale occurred. For example, if a stream took place on May 3rd, 2024, this might show as the end of May, as stores usually report data monthly.
Transaction Date: The date the royalty was credited to your account. This often differs from the Sales Date since stores report royalties for past activity at different times.
Release ID: The ID of your release within Spare Music, which also appears in the URL when viewing the release on our platform.
Label: The label associated with the release. By default, this will show as “Spare Music” unless you’re using Artist Pro or Label plans.
Release Code: The UPC or EAN for the release.
Release Title: The published title of your release, which may also include any version descriptions if reported by the store.
Release Artist: The artist(s) associated with the release. If there are multiple artists, they will be separated by the “&” symbol.
