Weird Al Disses Spotify In Year-End Video Message To Fans On Spotify
"I had over 80 million streams on Spotify this year. So, if I'm doing the math right, that means I earned... $12," Weird Al said in his recorded message on Spotify. "Enough to get myself a nice sandwich at a restaurant."

    At $0.003-$0.005 per stream, if he has 80,000,000 streams, then he made anywhere between $240,000 to $400,000. Either way, that's a decent chunk of change.

    So I guess we know that Al is REALLY bad at math, and really has nothing to complain about.

      Maybe... just maybe.... Al is talking about how much Spotify actually paid him for all those streams.
