Saiyaara Takes Flight: Composer Tanishk Bagchi Discusses Spotify Success and Royalties

The enchanting melody of “Saiyaara” has captured hearts worldwide, landing a coveted spot on Spotify’s Top 50 global chart. But what does this mean for the song’s creator? We spoke with composer Tanishk Bagchi to get his perspective on this remarkable achievement.

Global Recognition, But Where Are the Royalties?

Tanishk Bagchi, the mastermind behind “Saiyaara,” expressed his excitement about the song’s international recognition. While he acknowledges the positive impact this has on his career and positioning within the music industry, he also sheds light on the complex world of music royalties.

The Reality of Streaming Success

Bagchi candidly revealed that the “Saiyaara” Spotify success won’t necessarily translate into significant financial gain for him personally. He explained that the rights to the song are not solely his, impacting the way royalties are distributed. He humorously added, “Rights not with me, I’ll only get…” implying that his share of the streaming profits will be limited.

This raises important questions about the current music streaming landscape and how artists are compensated for their work, even when their creations achieve global popularity.
