How do you know? What is paid to recording companies by the streaming services is the result of a complex calculation and varies from streaming service to streaming service and from market to market. What the recording companies then pay the artists is subject to the contract between artist and recording company and that is confidential. NB: streaming services do not normally pay the artists directly.
However in the genre of popular music many artists write their own material so they also receive a share of the money that the streaming services pay to the music publishers (which may be a significant percentage of it as many recording artists own their own publishing rights).
Obviously the amount that any given artist receives also depends upon the aggregate number of streams they get which, again, is not usually publicly available information though one does see odd figures quoted but normally in respect of a single album from a major act. What artists get from streaming therefore also depends upon popularity.
Streaming services are now the dominant source of revenue for the entire recorded music industry. This revenue is forecast to double by 2030 ( remember that this is still a relatively new industry). However this will be offset by a continuing reduction in revenue from direct purchases of recorded music. I note from several posts on AA that many inmates no longer buy CDs,LPs or downloads.
Ultimately what is paid to performers depends upon how much you and I are willing to pay for the streaming service and not just on how it is distributed. Every artist can easily earn more so long as streaming subscribers are happy to pay $100 per month and not $8-$20.
