Our lofi has been streamed, bought or used in videos in 175 countries. Where depends on the platform: on Apple Music, 81% of streams came from the United States; on Spotify, 51%; on Instagram and Facebook, only 36%, with big numbers from Russia, Argentina, South Africa and Honduras. The US also pays far more per play, which is why 73% of our income comes from there.
Streaming: mostly American
Spotify paid streams (5,334, all of them Mellow Mosaic):

Short video: everywhere
Instagram and Facebook counted 1,050,903 uses of our music in videos, from 78 countries. Some of the top countries, with their share of all those uses:
| Country | Uses | Share |

| Unassigned | 83,297 | 8% |
| Russia | 64,022 | 6% |
| Argentina | 47,388 | 5% |
| South Africa | 34,508 | 3% |
| Honduras | 32,638 | 3% |
| Canada | 24,706 | 2% |
TikTok reached the most countries of all, 170, with 65% of its 52,544 uses in the US and the rest spread thin: Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Canada, Ukraine, Indonesia, the UAE, Brazil.
Short video carries the music much further than streaming does. A Reel made in Buenos Aires or Johannesburg shows the song to people who would never search for it.
Where the money comes from
The same play is worth very different amounts depending on where it happens. On Apple Music, a thousand streams paid us about $6.19 in the US and $12.14 in the UK, but around $2 in Mexico and under $1 in Turkey. Across all stores, the US brought in $139.25 of our $191.35. The full money breakdown is here.
What we take from it
- Streaming listeners and video audiences are different crowds. The people who save the song on Spotify are mostly in North America and Western Europe; the people who hear it under a Reel are everywhere.
- Income follows a few rich markets. If the goal is income, the US, UK, Canada and Germany matter most per play.
- Reach follows short video. If the goal is being heard, Reels and TikTok matter most.
- Write for both. That's why this site is in plain English, with rooms for moods people everywhere recognise, and why our music is free for creators anywhere to use in their own videos.
