From the article:

>The figures come from a survey of members belonging to songwriters’ body The Ivors Academy and the Musicians’ Union

Combined membership of the two organizations is around 32,000 [0][1] dues-paying members in the UK. We can safely assume the survey response rate was not 100%.

I believe that most musicians make little to nothing from streaming. I would be shocked if this survey data was representative of professional musicians more broadly.
