#Paramore
o The group’s Hayley Williams and Josh Farro were recently added to the credits of Olivia Rodrigo’s song, “Good 4 U” as many said that there were obvious similarities to the band’s song “Misery Business.”
o Now people are talking about how much money the credit could be worth to Paramore.
o Executives say that its total estimated publishing and songwriting royalties puts the track “in seven-figure territory” in just a few months.
o They said it probably ranges from $1.2 million to probably north of $2 million on the number of spins, radio play and number of formats it’s on.
o If the payout is estimated at $1.4 million, after the publisher’s portion, about $700,000 would get split between the four writers on the song which would get split evenly ($175,000.)
