PPL, the UK’s music licensing company for recorded music, distributed over £103.7 million ($131.5 million) to more than 133,000 performers and recording rightsholders in Q2 2024, marking a 6% year-on-year increase and its first distribution surpassing £100 million. The growth is attributed to increased public performance licensing revenue and improved global data exchange. Notably, 1,200 members received their first-ever payment. PPL’s new Specially Featured Entertainment (SFE) tariff, implemented in 2023, boosted distributions by 20%. Additionally, international collections rose by 13%, with the first payouts from Guatemala included. https://lnkd.in/gpZsfxm8 #PPL #musicbiz

By securing placements on such playlists, artists can tap into the listener bases of these platforms and increase their visibility, ultimately leading to potential fans discovering and engaging with their music. This strategy not only boosts exposure but also enhances the chances of long-term success in the highly competitive music industry. #MusicDiscovery #StreamingPlaylists #NewListeners #MusicPromotion #DiscoverNewMusic #IndieArtists #MusicStreaming #PlaylistCurator #DigitalMarketing #ArtistPromotion

📝Some artists are leary of being signed by other artists who own record labels because they don’t feel they have a fair chance at success and believe the main artist won’t give them the proper avenues for true success. 🎶 This could be true in certain circumstances so reading terms and being firm with your non negotiables are key. 🔑 👉🏾Keep in mind that not many artists are TRUE MUSIC EXECUTIVES so they may not be strong in certain aspects of actual label operations however, they do know the business to a certain extent. 💯 #recorddeal #musiclife #musicbusiness #musicexecutive #artistlife #artistdevelopment #artistpromotion #musicmarketing #marketingplan #marketingstrategy
