MTN pays out over N500m to artistes on Music+, launches MTN Music + Next Rated

It is indeed good times for Nigerian artistes who have their songs on MTN Music+, with more than N500m in revenues paid over 8 months to artists that have their songs on the platform. Beyond the financial value the artistes get by having their songs on the app, Music+ has also proven its worth of helping to stem the scourge of piracy that has thus far plagued the Nigerian music industry. 

Riding on the success achieved so far, another big bang opportunity has been opened for up-coming Nigerian artistes as Music+ has launched an initiative called ‘Next Rated.”

The MTN Music+ Next Rated channel is a special feature on the Music+ app which will allow upcoming music acts take advantage of over 1.6m active subscribers that use MTN Music +.

With MTN Next Rated, upcoming musicians can upload their music, gain exposure and build up a fan base without the artists having to pay for the exposure.

To herald the introduction of Next Rated feature of MTN Music+, MTN is organizing a special campaign tagged The Music+ Next Rated Campaign. This is targeted mostly at upcoming artists. All they need to do is to upload their Music content on the Next Rated section of MTN Music+.
