Alice pays 10$ per month and play (only) a thousand times a song of Madonna each month Bob pays 10$ per month and play (only) a hundred times a song of Queen each month

Currently Madonna will get 1000/1100 of artist's share => 10/11 x 70% x 20 = 12,73$ While Queen will get 100/1100 => 1/11 x 70% x 20 = 1.27$

With a per subscriber split => Queen and Madonna will get 7$

Right now there is an incentive for artists to create shorter songs so they get more stream = more revenue
