RouteNote&#8217;s Free model has zero upfront of recurring fees, while you keep 85% of the revenue. RouteNote&#8217;s Premium model has <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/pricing\">a small upfront cost (depending on the release type)<\/a>, and a $9.99 annual fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other distributors, there are no other differences between our Free and Premium models. The features and stores available are exactly the same. Plus you can switch models for any release at any time. The artist always keeps 100% of the rights to their music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For larger artists and labels, <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/contact\">please get in touch with our team and ask about RouteNote All Access.<\/a> This tier has additional features like tailored services, dedicated account management, priority support, pitching assistance, and early access to new features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Should you choose RouteNote Free or Premium music distribution?\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c-syWNftiQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve finalized your release, it will be sent to our moderation team. The moderation team checks every release for any formatting or copyright issues. Moderation times can vary. See this article for an up-to-date esimate of our current wait time. You&#8217;ll receive an email from us once your release has been approved or if there&#8217;s anything that requires your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once moderation has approved your release, it will be sent to our distribution team to send it to all of your chosen stores and territories. The procedure for making content available on <mark>iHeartRadio<\/mark> typically completes within a timeframe of one to two weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that your music is on streaming services worldwide, it&#8217;s time to start reaping the rewards. For most stores, statistics and earnings are made into your RouteNote account 45 days after the close of each month. For iHeartRadio, earnings and statistics from on-demand streams are made into your account 75 days after the close of each month. This means that the streams you earn from iHeartRadio in January will be made into your account in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Payments can vary each month based on the total subscription revenue generated and the frequency of an artist&#8217;s music streams. Payments to artists for subscription-based streams are determined by their share of the total subscription revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earnings from radio plays are processed separately and reported to Sound Exchange, unlike on-demand stream earnings which are handled through RouteNote. Earnings from radio plays are reported to SoundExchange. There is no cost to register with SoundExchange, it is free for artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/music-publishing-explained\/\"><strong>Find out how to collect your publishing royalties here.<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to get your Money, Stats, Analytics and Reporting! - RouteNote\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pGjyljLORGg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<a name=\"what-is\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>What is iHeartRadio?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting as an online radio platform, transforming to a traditional music streaming service, facing tough competition, and everything in between. We explore how iHeartRadio started, where they are now, how to use the platform as a consumer, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a name=\"start\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h4>How did iHeartRadio start?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/iHeartRadio-Logo-2008.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98286 lazyload\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2008 by Clear Channel, who rebranded to iHeartMedia in 2014, iHeartRadio launched in the US only, featuring news, music content, music videos and access to over 750 Clear Channel radio stations online. In its first year, iHeartRadio debuted on the just-launched iPhone App Store, giving users access to twelve radio stations in 8 markets. iHeartRadio launched on BlackBerry and Android the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/iphonedevice.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98338 lazyload\" width=\"382\" height=\"338\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011, iHeartRadio launched their free, all-in-one service, featuring thousands of live radio stations and custom artist stations. The following year, iHeartRadio launched &#8220;24\/7 News&#8221;, online audio news, weather and traffic streams for several US cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five years after its launch in the United States, iHeartRadio rolled out in New Zealand and Australia in 2013. This year also saw the service launch iHeartRadio Talk, a precursor to podcasts. iHeartRadio Talk featured original on-demand programming from celebrities and allowed users to upload their own content through podcasting platform Spreaker. iHeartRadio Talk was later rebranded to &#8220;Shows &amp; Personalities&#8221;, then simply &#8220;Podcasts&#8221;. iHeartRadio continued to expand podcasts over the years, with acquisitions such as <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/iheartmedia-acquire-podcast-publishing-and-advertising-platform-voxnest\/\">Voxnest<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015, iHeartRadio Family was launched, bringing curated experiences targeting children, with a simplified interface and age-appropriate stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2016 saw iHeartRadio expand to Canada. This came alongside the launch of two subscription based on-demand services &#8211; &#8220;iHeartRadio Plus&#8221; and &#8220;iHeartRadio All Access powered by Napster&#8221;. This brought on-demand streaming to the music service for the first time, allowing paying subscribers to listen to exactly what they want, when they want. Introducing traditional music streaming services, alongside their existing radio offerings, with features like replay, search, skip, offline listening and curated playlists, allowed iHeartRadio to compete with other big players like <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/can-i-upload-my-music-to-spotify-yes-and-its-free\/\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-get-my-music-on-apple-music\/\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"iHeartRadio All Access - Brand New!\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vhWlwO1Wp2M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As 2018 rolled around, iHeartRadio launched in Mexico.
