The data linked later on in the thread is the exact data used for the infographic, and it was just tabloid make-belive news. The reason why the numbers are wrong is that Spotify had recently launched at this point, and had essentially no real revenue stream yet (almost everybody on the free model, not a lot of ads yet).

It has been reported later on that the amount of money paid out has increased substantially, but no hard data is given since that seems to be considered a trade secret.
