If you\u2019ve played your original song live, received radio play or had a few streams on Spotify – you will have performance royalties that are waiting to be collected!<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Performance Royalties are a form of Publishing Royalty<\/strong> that are generated through the play of a composition rather than a sound recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether a composition is a performance on TV, broadcast on the radio, a background playlist streamed at a restaurant, a jukebox in a waiting room or a live performance. If you hear music when you\u2019re out and about, it\u2019s generating royalties to collect.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also earn performance royalties on Non-Interactive Streaming from in-streaming radio services such as Pandora Radio\/SiriusXM where you do not have a choice on what you play next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as Interactive Streaming where you listen to whatever you like through services such as Spotify\/Deezer\/Apple Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to be signed up to a PRO to collect these royalties?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can collect these royalties through a Music Publisher (like RouteNote Publishing<\/strong>), however they will only be able to collect 50% of these royalties – a PRO will hold on to the remaining 50% for you to go and collect yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure all your royalties are being collected, we would always recommend artists to sign up to their affiliated PRO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find out more about PROs and what they do here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
