Worse, the income she gets from streaming music services like Pandora and Spotify is so pathetic it's not enough to live on - even though her songs were streamed 2.8 million times last year.
All told, Keating sold 33,000 singles, 8,600 albums, and 2.8 million streams for total 2013 sales of about $82,000. That's not a bad income. But it's not exactly drive-a-Rolls-Royce-into-a-hotel-swimming-pool money. (Keating released her finances with this arch tweet, "2013 music sales & streaming numbers for a middle-aged mom in a non-album cycle.")
