Why Today’s Biggest Stars and Music Legends are turning to Pay-Per-View Streaming

4 min readApr 5, 2025

From chart-toppers to icons, Player+ empowers artists to take control and create premium fan-first experiences.

The way music is streamed is evolving — and today’s biggest stars are leading the charge. As artists look for deeper connection with fans, better control over content, and new ways to monetise major moments, the subscription model is no longer enough.

Whether it’s a world tour livestream, exclusive album launch performance, or a behind-the-scenes documentary, direct-to-fan pay-per-view (PPV) streaming is becoming the model of choice for the modern music industry.

At Player+, we’re giving artists — from global headliners to legendary icons — the tools to take control and turn moments into movements.

Today’s Stars Want More Than Just Views

Major artists today are brands. They launch fashion lines, break the internet, and sell out stadiums in minutes. But when it comes to streaming, they’re often boxed into models that dilute revenue, bury content in algorithms, and separate them from their fans.

Player+ flips the script.

We provide:

  • Fully branded artist channels and digital storefronts
  • Pay-per-view, TVOD and SVOD, monetisation tools
  • Fan-facing global streaming platform with geo-targeting
  • Distribution to 500M television households worldwide
  • Access via LG, Samsung, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Netgem, hotel room televisions, all browsers and immersive devices
  • Data ownership, fan CRM, and actionable insights
  • Creative freedom. Commercial control. No middlemen.

In short, we let artists own their audience — and their upside.

Whether you’re the #1 name on the charts or about to drop a new era, Player+ turns your live show or digital event into a global happening — on your terms.

Because unlike Spotify and Netflix-style platforms — which rely on algorithmic models that control who sees what and when — Player+ is a gateway, not a gatekeeper.

We don’t filter or flatten content. We amplify it — directly to the fans who care.

The Legends Still Lead — And Their Fans Are Ready

Alongside today’s biggest stars, heritage artists have never had a better moment to reconnect with fans — and monetise what they’ve built. From U2 and The Rolling Stones to Eric Clapton and Madonna, these acts are more than history — they’re culture.

They’ve got decades of demand, cross-generational attention through TikTok, and stories that deserve the spotlight. And their fans? They aren’t just listening. They’re still paying attention.

Willing to pay for exclusive, well-produced, premium content that brings the magic of live performance into their homes.

This isn’t about what was. It’s about what is. It’s now.

The moment, the music, the connection — brought to life through digital.

Cultural Reconnection Meets Commercial Potential

Post-pandemic, fans are seeking more than content. They want moments. Meaning. Events.

And this is where the magic happens:

With Player+, every Saturday night can feel like a Glastonbury Pyramid Stage night.

A global stage. A digital crowd. A cultural happening. Every night of the week.

Whether it’s a headline act live from Tokyo, or a never-seen before concert remastered in beautiful HD, high quality Dolby audio, with bonus extras and integrated merchandising - Player+ makes it premium, shareable, and monetisable.

What’s Next?

At Player+, we’re already working with current global stars, icons, rights holders, and forward-thinking managers to unlock the full value of performance.

This isn’t about competing with Netflix, Spotify or YouTube.
It’s about owning your lane.

So if you’ve got the content — we’ve got the platform.

Let’s turn moments into movements.
Let’s turn nostalgia into now.
Let’s make it pay.
