SoundExchange

Digital radio money waiting on unregistered artists.

1. 01Use the artist search on their Artists, Labels and Producers page to see if unclaimed royalties are being held under your name. Search your artist name, legal name, and common misspellings.
2. 02Register as BOTH the featured artist and the sound recording owner. Owning your masters means two registrations and 95% of the recording royalty.

Unclaimed SoundExchange royalties can be released after 3 years. Money not claimed is money gone.

The MLC unmatched royalties

Streaming mechanicals sitting unmatched because of missing registration.

1. 01Search your song titles in the free Public Work Search. No account needed.
2. 02If songs are missing, unmatched, or only partly claimed, create a free member account, register the works, and use the Claiming and Matching Tools.

The MLC starts paying out unmatched royalties by market share in April 2027, beginning with January 2021 usage. That money gets split by share of matched streams, so the biggest catalogs get the most. Older historical royalties are still being matched and come later. Match your songs before it is redistributed.

You do NOT need Harry Fox to collect from The MLC.
