How this is calculated

Plays are estimated from ListenBrainz listening data, scaled to all streaming services.

Publishing: estimated plays × writer-side rate × the chance the song is really unregistered.

Neighbouring rights: a radio and public-performance proxy for tracks where you perform or produce.

An indicative estimate, not a statement of money owed. Full method →
