Paid by performers' and producers' societies (NUOVOIMAIE, PPL, GVL…) for radio and public play.
What's done right
0 of 315 songs are fully documented
Composition, writers, ISWC and ISRC are all in public data for these — the basics that let societies match plays to you.
None yet — every song we read has at least one thing to check below.
Want us to retrieve it?
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.
Check with your own society whether the song is registered as a work, with every writer and their split.
If it is not, register it (title, writers, splits, IPI numbers) or ask your publisher or administrator to do it.
Ask for the ISWC once it is assigned and add it to your distributor's metadata.
In countries where you have no sub-publisher, check the work reached the local society; if not, ask your society to send it or claim it there.
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.

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 1,460 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.

Live shows
What your concerts should pay you
Estimated · 5 of 9 shows found on setlist.fm since 1968€1 – €10for you, if every setlist was reported
iHow this is estimated
Assumed 100–500 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 (2%).
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.
