Radio stations generally pay some organisation/company for the rights to play music.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Edit: I guess I’m wondering if smaller artists would make more from getting on the radio or getting popular on Spotify…

Here's an example of the Dutch company that handles the music rights.

I'm guessing artists most definitely make more from streaming services, at least in the Netherlands.
