Spotify Asked Band to Remove Completely Silent Album Once it Earned $20K

You can’t earn money from doing nothing, but you can try to earn money with the sound of nothing. That’s what Vulpeck has proven, and they’ve done so to the silent and powerful tune of at least $20,000 using Spotify’s streaming model.

The band’s Sleepify album of ten perfectly silent tunes have been earning $0.007 per play and its accumulated revenue per date is at least $20k. It’s commendable by most standards, unless you are Spotify, a $4 billion company created by the music industry.
