YouTube still isn't paying enough royalties to artists, according to Britain's music industry body.

UK Music has spoken out after revealing that the video-sharing platform is the most popular way of consuming music in the country.

Chief executive Jo Dipple commented: "I don't think YouTube pays enough for our brilliant music that they have on their platform."

A report by UK Music said YouTube's per-stream royalties dropped from $0.0020 to $0.0010 in 2015.

The platform responded by saying it has paid £2.3bn to the music industry so far.

It added that it doesn't pay artists per-stream as it makes money from advertising.
