Let's say that in one month a year, this song earns on avg. like $40,000/day. It's around $36,000,000 over the period of 23 years. It's not that bad, compared to $60,000,000 earned in royalties since its release.

I assume that they count multiple sources of revenue here, like radio licenses, royalties from movies and ads where this song was used, etc. So $92,400 per day only from one medium, is not that bad.
