  $126 million is to be given back to artists after major music label Warner sold its stake in Spotify.

  Warner Music Group reveals that their share from Spotify earned $317 million this year. The company is successfully listed in the New Yorks Stock Exchange this early 2018.

  Having announced their latest earnings, Warner promised that they would share the spoils of Spotify to artists include Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Neil Young whose names became famous with its labels.
