We become the publisher (admin only, you keep your rights): we register every song, fix the splits and claim what is owed, back to the oldest period still open. No upfront fee — a commission on what comes back.
Ask your society for the ISWC of the work. No ISWC often means an incomplete registration.
Complete what is missing (writers, splits, publisher) so the code can be assigned.
Share the ISWC with your distributor and publisher so platforms can match plays to the work.
Where your money comes from
Every song earns on two sides
The song (what you wrote) and the recording (what you recorded) are paid separately, by different organisations. Streams are only one source — radio, TV, live and public places matter as much or more for songwriters.
Publishing · the song
Songwriting money
Paid to writers and publishers by authors' societies (SIAE, SACEM, GEMA, PRS…), your publisher, and The MLC in the US.

Recording money

Two lines from the map above: the songwriting slice of your streams, and an estimate of neighbouring rights for the recordings you play on. The recording money your distributor pays for streams is not here — it is already in your distributor statements.
iHow this is calculated
Calculated automatically from 327,883 listens on ListenBrainz, an open listening panel that is much stronger in the UK and US than in most other countries — so elsewhere it is often an underestimate.
Plays are scaled to all services, then multiplied by a per-play rate and by your share of the songwriting.

Each of these should earn on both sides: the song (authors' society) and the recording (performers' and producers' societies).

iHow this is estimated
Assumed 300–2,000 paid tickets per show (from how much your music is listened to) at a typical local price (e.g. €15–40), × each society's published concert tariff, × the share of the set that is your own songs, × your share of the writing (99%).
By currency: CA$1,408 – CA$22,532 · A$1,490 – A$23,182 · £144 – £2,245. Added up in euros at the European Central Bank reference rates of 2026-10-02.
Put your real ticket numbers on the shows page for a precise figure. Countries without a published tariff (e.g. the US) aren't counted.
