Lady GaGa 'makes £100 from Spotify'

Lady GaGa has made just $167 (£100) from over 1 million plays on Spotify, it is claimed.

Swedish newspaper Expressen published a report which says that the singer - real name Stefani Germanotta - has only earned that amount despite her huge popularity on the music streaming service.

The figure quoted by the publication represents the amount of listens GaGa's hit 'Poker Face' has amassed over a five-month period in Spotify's native Sweden.

Swedish rapper Dogge Doggelito said: "It is totally sick. We musicians have no rights, you may not charge [for music] anymore."

However, another of the country's artists, music producer Alexander Bard, stated that this payment is still better than what GaGa would have received from illegal downloading, noting it to be "more than zero".
