Music royalties are payments made to the creators of music, such as songwriters, recording artists, and publishers, for the use of their work. They are earned whenever a copyrighted song is played, streamed, reproduced, or synchronized with visual media.
Royalties are generated every time a song is played on the radio, streamed on a music service, pressed onto a CD or vinyl record, or used in a TV show, movie, or commercial. They are the lifeblood of the music industry, ensuring that artists and songwriters are paid for their work.
