Press &#8211; Magazines, Publications &#038; Music sites<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Traditionally the most effective way to reach new fans and potential buyers is through the press. Magazines, blogs and music sites are the billboards of the music industry. It takes time and good research to build your own press contact list, however it\u2019s a fantastic way of reaching wider audiences and using existing fan bases to increase overall reach. The following are examples of features which can help you achieve this \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Label and Artist Interviews, Reviews, Streaming premieres, Free Giveaways, Featured Releases, Exclusive Guest Mixes, Fan Gating, Premiers and Events.<\/p>\n<p>The more press you achieve, the more you can post on your social networks to push your forthcoming releases.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Playlisting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Pitching for playlists is <strong>the newest and most effective way of getting your music discovered.<\/strong> Whilst focusing on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music &#038; Deezer, a single placement can present your release to millions of new listeners. At Cygnus, we submit priority content to streaming platforms every day. However, certain key playlists are generated outside of the various companies who provide this service; these are known as user curated playlists.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-2-0-6\" class=\"module module-text text-132-2-0-6  repeat \">\n    \n    <h5><strong>We recommend working through the 2 articles below.<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\t\t<div class=\"themify_builder_sub_row module_subrow clearfix repeat sub_row_2-0-7\">\n\t\t                    <div class=\"subrow_inner \" >\n                                       <div  class=\"col4-2 sub_column module_column first sub_column_post_132 sub_column_2-0-7-0\"> \n                                                              <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n    <!-- module buttons -->\n    <div  id=\"buttons-132-sub_row_2-0-7-0-0\" class=\"module module-buttons buttons-132-sub_row_2-0-7-0-0  \">\n\n        \n        <div class=\"module-buttons xlarge rounded\">\n            \t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-buttons-item buttons-fullwidth buttons-horizontal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/spotify-editorial\/\" class=\"ui builder_button blue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"fa fa-spotify\"><\/i> <span>Positioning for spotify editorial<\/span><\/a>                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/module buttons -->\n\n                        <\/div>\n                                   <\/div>\n\t\t               <div  class=\"col4-2 sub_column module_column last sub_column_post_132 sub_column_2-0-7-1\"> \n                                                              <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n    <!-- module buttons -->\n    <div  id=\"buttons-132-sub_row_2-0-7-1-0\" class=\"module module-buttons buttons-132-sub_row_2-0-7-1-0  \">\n\n        \n        <div class=\"module-buttons xlarge rounded\">\n            \t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-buttons-item buttons-fullwidth buttons-horizontal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/tiktok-2023-music-discovery\/\" class=\"ui builder_button blue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"fa fa-map-signs\"><\/i> <span>playlist faq's and how it works<\/span><\/a>                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/module buttons -->\n\n                        <\/div>\n                                   <\/div>\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n                <\/div><!-- \/themify_builder_sub_row -->\n                \n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-2-0-8\" class=\"module module-text text-132-2-0-8  repeat \">\n    \n    <h3><strong>4. DJ and Radio Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Getting big radio plays or DJ support can make a release immensely successful and even raise revenue through income streams such as <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prsformusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PRS<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0<u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ppluk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPL<\/a><\/u>. Putting together and regularly updating your DJ and Radio contact list, whilst organising them into priority tiers will ensure that the right people get them at the right time. If you receive any big plays such as on BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, Kiss FM or Ministry of Sound, you should post the links via your social networks. However, you should take extra care not to spam DJs, as it can have an adverse effect.<\/p>\n<p>Radio play can be vital when it comes to promoting a release, just like press. If you haven\u2019t already built relationships radio tastemakers, a good place to start is by reaching out to them on social media. A radio premiere prior to a streaming upload can really help push a release announcement, especially on big platforms such as BBC Radio 1. Setting this up alongside a Spotify Pre-Save, which you can use to direct fans to where they can listen to the track following its release, can boost your music\u2019s visibility. <strong>Radio plugging<\/strong> has always been key to larger more mainstream campaigns, however playlist placements add far more value nowadays. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/parity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Important note: Parity<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. YouTube &#038; SoundCloud Premiers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These can be a powerful way of showcasing a forthcoming release to a bigger audience. Remember though, often these sites will ask you to waiver monetisation rights meaning revenue from the plays will often go directly to the network hosting them. A good balance to this would be to only allow a segment of a track to be uploaded and that pre-order links are included in the upload description. Essentially when the track comes out on full release you want your fans to only be able to buy or hear the full track through a monetised platform, where the revenue comes back to your label. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/parity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Important note: Parity<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. PR Companies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An established PR company can provide the full spectrum of promotion and exposure your release needs. PR campaigns can range between a few hundred pounds and thousands of pounds; however, they may double your investment in the long term. Having an expert with years of experience in building and maintaining industry contacts representing your label, release or project can raise your profile immensely.

I wish I had 200 pairs of ears to listen to everything and four pairs of arms to type four times more features and interviews. But I don&#8217;t. And time is my biggest enemy. So I have to decide what should be covered and what I don&#8217;t have time to cover&#8230; And a professional press release that has no waffle or BS and gives me concise facts and potential angles will often help me make a decision on what to cover.

stores reach out to us with a list of featured content for the week and ask us to inform the labels. We then email clients directly. For the most part however, stores will have independent curators who decide on featured content and it&#8217;s a case of looking on the day of release to see if your release has been selected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: My release or track isn&#8217;t in my forthcoming section on the Spotify app ?<\/strong> A: If your release is on a Various Artists album Spotify do not display this in their app pre-release.

However you can greatly improve your chances by carrying out high profile marketing campaigns, submitting high quality content and completing submissions via the form above, by requesting a pre-order link (see how further down) and driving up pre-orders prior to release, and finally by going exclusive with a chosen store.<\/p>\n<p><b>How competitive is the market?\u00a0<\/b>In the Dance music industry, there\u2019s over 100,000 tracks released each week. Spotify estimates that over 120,000 tracks are uploaded each day on their platform alone.\u00a0So the competition is very high.\u00a0Some labels and artists have teams of staff and significant budgets so make sure you go all out and put your best content forward.<\/p>\n<p><b>How come most of the big opportunities and placements go to the biggest artists? <\/b>This is the nature of the beast and DSP\u2019s ultimately want market growth and consumer satisfaction. However, there are many opportunities for artists and labels of any size, provided they stand out from the pack, and commit to growth, marketing and driving organic music consumption on the DSP\u2019s.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n                        <\/div>\n                    \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.tb-column -->\n\t\t\n\t\t\n                                <\/div>\n                                <!-- \/row_inner -->\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!-- \/module_row -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"themify_builder_row module_row clearfix repeat module_row_9 themify_builder_132_row module_row_132-9\">\n\t\t\t\t                                <div class=\"row_inner \" >\n\n                                    \n\t\t<div  class=\"tb-column col-full first module_column tb_132_column module_column_0 module_column_132-9-0\" >\n                                                                <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-9-0-0\" class=\"module module-text text-132-9-0-0  repeat \">\n    \n    <p><a name=\"featuresFAQ\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Increasing your chances of getting featured<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Try to sign, work with or commission remixes from the biggest artists you can work with. Leverage their fan base to increase your own. Use real-time engagement metrics to chose who you work with.<\/li>\n<li>Focus on influencer marketing. Build a network of influencers who command a large audience and get them creating content which includes your music.<\/li>\n<li>Build up a network of user generated playlists. On Spotify, search for playlists and try to find the owners of them. Engage with them and gain their support. This feeds organic consumption which can lead to editorial.<\/li>\n<li>Focus on TikTok creations and Instagram Reels.<\/li>\n<li>Artist engagement is essential. If your artist is not promoting and sponsoring the release, it can massively impact the success.<\/li>\n<li>Around 70-90% of your marketing resources and ad spend should go on or after release date. We suggest 90%.<\/li>\n<li>Collaboration is key. Utilise and grow your network.<\/li>\n<li>Organic traction matters the most. If the music isn\u2019t moving off it\u2019s own steam, it doesn\u2019t demonstrate that consumers are engaged.

Plan how you want to inform and engage them by posting updates about the label, releases and artists. Often the most effective forms of engagement come in the few weeks preceding the release, as posting too much too early can water down the impact of your campaign due to the volume of data people are posting and receiving daily.<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of ways in which you can begin to build your social presence, including inviting people on your personal Facebook account to like your artist page, creating Twitter lists for music blogs, PR companies, other DJs and record labels (they\u2019ll get notifications to say you\u2019ve added them) and pinning your key posts at the top of your profile. It\u2019s also important to limit your posts and make sure they\u2019re engaging, meaning your audience will feel more connected to you as an artist. With <strong>Facebook<\/strong> in particular, less is more, so concentrate on only posting content that\u2019ll get the best interaction from your audience, especially when it relates to your releases.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding <strong>Twitter<\/strong> it\u2019s imperative to interact with other users to gain followers. It\u2019s important to ensure that you mention or follow each brand you interact with on Twitter with the tag \u2018@\u2019 feature, whilst utilising popular hashtags relevantly, enabling you to appear within Twitter\u2019s primary search function. But be careful, as following too many profiles will mean you clog up your Twitter newsfeed and you may miss important industry news.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instagram<\/strong> is just as important for many labels, DJs and producers \u2013 their stories function is a great way to keep fans involved with your brand and gives a daily insight into their day to day proceedings. Like Facebook, posting engaging content is vital in building a follower base. Similarly, much like Twitter, tagging other individuals, following other profiles and utilising hashtags will also build your audience. Take advantage of cross posting content by linking Instagram and Facebook to maximise engagement.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>TikTok<\/strong> All social media is important across artist campaigns. However, the main social platform for music discovery is TikTok. TikTok has emerged as a powerful platform for music marketing campaigns, allowing artists, labels, and marketers to connect with a wide and engaged audience. The platform&#8217;s unique algorithm and user behaviour have made it a place where many users discover new music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a href=\"#pageTop\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2666\" style=\"position: relative; bottom: 8px; right: 4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/arrow-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"18\" \/> Back to top<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n                        <\/div>\n                    \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.tb-column -->\n\t\t\n\t\t\n                                <\/div>\n                                <!-- \/row_inner -->\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!-- \/module_row -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"themify_builder_row module_row clearfix repeat module_row_12 themify_builder_132_row module_row_132-12\">\n\t\t\t\t                                <div class=\"row_inner \" >\n\n                                    \n\t\t<div  class=\"tb-column col-full first module_column tb_132_column module_column_0 module_column_132-12-0\" >\n                                                                <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-12-0-0\" class=\"module module-text text-132-12-0-0  repeat \">\n    \n    <h2><a name=\"smartlinks\"><\/a><strong> Spotify Pre-Save &#038; <\/strong><strong>Cygnus SmartLinks<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n                        <\/div>\n                    \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.tb-column -->\n\t\t\n\t\t\n                                <\/div>\n                                <!-- \/row_inner -->\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!-- \/module_row -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"themify_builder_row module_row clearfix repeat module_row_13 themify_builder_132_row module_row_132-13\">\n\t\t\t\t                                <div class=\"row_inner \" >\n\n                                    \n\t\t<div  class=\"tb-column col-full first module_column tb_132_column module_column_0 module_column_132-13-0\" >\n                                                                <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-13-0-0\" class=\"module module-text text-132-13-0-0  repeat \">\n    \n    <h1>How it works<\/h1>\n<p>Links are emailed out to clients 9 days before the release date, or if exclusive with a store, 1 week before the store exclusive date.

In fact, Spotify now generates more revenue for our labels than any other digital service provider and we encourage our clients to put as much focus on Spotify as possible.<\/p>\n<p>While the platform is mostly artist led, it\u2019s important that labels work with their artists to ensure they\u2019re verified, regularly creating playlists and getting the most from the platform. Spotify is all about momentum. It\u2019s bringing in new revenue for the music industry and it\u2019s primarily down to this revenue recurring. With a digital download someone pays for one download and that\u2019s the entire purchase, whereas Spotify users favourite, share and playlist the music they like which means each time it\u2019s played a monetary contribution is made. We have many clients whose revenue is going up consistently every month because more people are discovering their music, sharing it and revisiting it, and this is very much the case for tracks that came out many years ago, where the digital downloads have already passed their purchasing peak. We\u2019ve found that labels who start adding Spotify links to their buy link posts can increase their revenue by around 20% within the space of just six months.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/getting-into-playlists-faqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Get Music In Playlists<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Investing time into Spotify can build consistent growth and momentum for a label.

A single (or album sampler) is a track taken from, and included in, the forthcoming album and is released in advance of the album. For example, a 15-track album could quite easily have 7 singles in advance. We have only seen positives from lining up lots of singles. MAKE SURE you use the same ISRC code, metadata and version of the single as it will be used on the album so streaming play counts carry over. The aim is to have numerous album tracks all playlisted with high play counts on release day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to create singles from an album<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Create the album with all the tracks and submit it to us. <strong>Only submit the album when it&#8217;s absolutely final.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The album will be checked over and your release date confirmed via email.<\/li>\n<li>Now your release date has been confirmed you can schedule the singles.<\/li>\n<li>Create a new release for the single and select<strong> &#8216;ADD EXISTING TRACK&#8217;<\/strong> once the release has been created.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\n\n    <!-- module image -->\n    <div  id=\"image-132-23-0-1\" class=\"module module-image image-132-23-0-1  image-center  \">\n\n        \n        <div class=\"image-wrap\">\n                            <img src=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sss-700x115.jpg\" width=\"700\" class=\" wp-post-image wp-image-6270\" alt=\"sss\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sss-700x115.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sss-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sss.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>            \n                        <\/div>\n            <!-- \/image-wrap -->\n        \n        \n            <\/div>\n    <!-- \/module image -->\n\n\n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-23-0-2\" class=\"module module-text text-132-23-0-2  repeat \">\n    \n    <ul>\n<li>Select the track from the list of tracks presented.<\/li>\n<li>The metadata and the audio will now carry over from the track on the album.<\/li>\n<li>Submit your single to come out before the album.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Releasing lots of singles can significantly increase the exposure of the album provided each single is promoted well.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Using the &#8216;Add Existing TRACK&#8217; function means that playcounts from the singles will cross over to the album on release day.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\t\t<div class=\"themify_builder_sub_row module_subrow clearfix sub_row_23-0-3\">\n\t\t                    <div class=\"subrow_inner \" >\n                                       <div  class=\"col-full sub_column module_column first sub_column_post_132 sub_column_23-0-3-0\"> \n                                                              <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n    <!-- module buttons -->\n    <div  id=\"buttons-132-sub_row_23-0-3-0-0\" class=\"module module-buttons buttons-132-sub_row_23-0-3-0-0  \">\n\n        \n        <div class=\"module-buttons xlarge circle\">\n            \t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-buttons-item buttons-fullwidth buttons-horizontal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/spotify-pro-techniques\/\" class=\"ui builder_button blue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>TOP VA ALBUM TIP: SPOTIFY ONLY SINGLES<\/span><\/a>                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/module buttons -->\n\n                        <\/div>\n                                   <\/div>\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n                <\/div><!-- \/themify_builder_sub_row -->\n                \n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-23-0-4\" class=\"module module-text text-132-23-0-4  repeat \">\n    \n    <ul>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Name Dropping Really Works<\/strong>: The artist should consider collaborating with the BIGGEST artists you or they can possibly work with. Check out the potential collaborators monthly play counts and followers on streaming services and pick off the biggest ones possible. The streaming algorithms will work on these numbers and place the album to the collaborator\u2019s audience and more. Call in the biggest favours you can, this can multiply your downloads and streams&#8230; monumentally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preparation is key<\/strong>: We recommend that you do not make album announcements until you have a project timeline in place, all the assets finalised, all the assets submitted, and your release date confirmed. Often these announcements will be scheduled in line with marketing efforts and aim not give away too much too soon as timing is everything.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Project Timeline:<\/strong> Once you have your release date confirmed you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/ReleaseTimeline2021-ForResources.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>action your marketing plan<\/strong><\/a>. We would recommend that working to a 4 (or more)-month lead in time as the optimum. A 3-month lead in time is a good average, 2-months often means the project is being rushed or has lower expectations, and 1-month lead is insufficient. You will find huge benefits in coordinating all the various activities using a project timeline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commit to Marketing:<\/strong> You should factor in a good marketing budget or have all the relevant resources in-house. If you choose to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/maximise-sales\/#PR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>3rd party for a professional marketing campaign<\/strong><\/a>, we would be happy to help vet them for you in advance.

They should take control on the feed of information to the potential consumers of the album and provide you with instructions or advice on when and how to engage with your fans. If you can tour or do an album launch party, do it!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre, During and Post Impact Date<\/strong>: The impact date is often considered as your release date. This is the time you want the most people talking about your album and the very best features going live. Just as important is the build-up period to create the hype and anticipation of the forthcoming album, along with the weeks immediately after the impact date as you can extend the hype by drip feeding additional press, artist curated pieces and interviews to ride the wave of success while the album is still hot and getting playlisted. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1hdN4LcOCGC-pp3FO-JPSUY4Pj-btAvpwnQkZ97I_EoM\/edit\">Make sure you tell us<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool Suplimentary Content:<\/strong> Make sure the artist\/s are creating DJ charts, playlists, artist videos, club reaction videos, studio videos, mixes etc. Stores will often reach out for complimentary content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be mindful&#8230;Radio or Streaming?<\/strong> There&#8217;s a battle in place for new music discovery.

Customers who pre-order content will not receive the actual assets until the original release date. Pre-order links are a great way to drive sales in advance of a release and if successful, a release will shoot straight in to the charts on the day of release. If you would like a pre-order link please email support@cygnusmusic.net, these are generally sent out 1-2 weeks before release unless requested otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>JunoDownload do not offer Pre-Order links but instead present previews around 2 weeks ahead of the release date. If you do not want these previews for your label we can request that they are removed.<\/p>\n<p>Upon your request, we can instruct Beatport to generate a Pre-Order link for every release on your label by a default of 1, 2 or 3 weeks in advance. Drop us an email to request this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE<\/strong> iTunes pre-order: iTunes now link as a default to Apple Music on mobile devices, and the release won&#8217;t be available until the actual release date.

Only labels earning less than $12,000 per year are eligable, so you&#8217;ll find that you&#8217;ll never be competing against the big labels in the genre charts. Instead, the hype charts are just for eligable labels who pay the subscription, and who will be competing for a space in the hype charts for the extra visibility. The Hype features section is Beatport&#8217;s curated section where Beatport staff pick select hype releases for extra coverage. Hype is very competitive but does allow newer and middle level labels to get extra space on Beatports genre pages. The main way to get into the Hype charts and then be on the radar for the limited Hype features, is to generate sales and push your way up the rankings.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-44-0-1\" class=\"module module-text text-132-44-0-1  repeat \">\n    \n    <p><strong>SUBMIT SUPPORTING EVIDENCE FOR A BEATPORT FEATURE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Complete the\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSccoG_0kJBIbXTzFGVb086Jh2JWe66NxHf0tbM4QAYTSxaPRw\/viewform?usp=sf_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FEATURE SUBMISSION FORM<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in full so we can summarise and submit this information to Beatport on your behalf.

Charting in stores is incredibly important as it creates momentum which leads to more sales and sustained growth. Some buyers only shop by what&#8217;s charting in the stores rather than sifting through all new releases. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Making content available whilst a release is in a store exclusive period can upset the stores and can result in less features.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Whilst it\u2019s tough to stop content appearing on torrent sites, some individuals hunt bandcamp looking for high demand exclusive content to put on P2P platforms. Whilst an anti-piracy campaign can help prevent this, once something has been leaked on a high trafficked torrent site it can cause a lot of damage to a releases success if it is not widely accessible to buy and stream.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n                        <\/div>\n                    \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.tb-column -->\n\t\t\n\t\t\n                                <\/div>\n                                <!-- \/row_inner -->\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!-- \/module_row -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"themify_builder_row module_row clearfix repeat module_row_65 themify_builder_132_row module_row_132-65\">\n\t\t\t\t                                <div class=\"row_inner \" >\n\n                                    \n\t\t<div  class=\"tb-column col4-2 first module_column tb_132_column module_column_0 module_column_132-65-0\" >\n                                                                <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-65-0-0\" class=\"module module-text text-132-65-0-0  repeat \">\n    \n    <p><a name=\"Maximising\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Maximising Revenue Through Royalties<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-65-0-1\" class=\"module module-text text-132-65-0-1  repeat \">\n    \n    <p>When a piece of music has been written and recorded it has two separate rights attached to it; The Master Copyright and the Publishing Copyright.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Publishing Copyright<\/strong> is the right that covers the underlying composition and lyrics of the song. This would be owned by the composers and lyricists. Composers and publishers can sign this right to a publisher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Master Copyright<\/strong> is the right that covers the actual recording of the song. This would be owned by the artists and performers of the song. This is also the right that a record label would sign to be able to sell the music. Of course, often a label may sign music before it\u2019s been created in which case the label would own the copyright from the start, rather than the artists.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if Band A does a cover of a Beatles song, the record label or artists would own the master copyright however the publishing rights would still be owned by the original publisher.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s music industry especially in electronic and dance scenes, the artist and writer are often the same person. Also, the vocalist and lyricist may be the same person. On top of this in dance music you do not really get \u2018covers\u2019 of big songs. It is much more likely to be remixed, which is a totally different thing legally. Taking this into consideration it is hardly surprising that today\u2019s new electronic musicians find it hard to understand this side of the industry, as it was created for an industry many decades ago, and things have changed.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you are a producer that has just written a dance track that is not signed, as mentioned above you would have two rights attached to the music. Both of these rights are able to generate royalties. To ensure that you can collect these royalties correctly, let\u2019s look at what royalties you can collect.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n                        <\/div>\n                    \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.tb-column -->\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div  class=\"tb-column col4-2 last module_column tb_132_column module_column_1 module_column_132-65-1\" >\n                                                                <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-65-1-0\" class=\"module module-text text-132-65-1-0  repeat \">\n    \n    <h3><strong>Publishing Copyright<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When music is performed publicly you would be due royalties. This would include being played on radio, TV or played in a pub or club. Venues as well as TV and Radio stations all pay a license fee for them to be able to use music. Those license fees are then split down between all the writers that have had their works publicly performed.<\/p>\n<p>The nonprofit organisation the handles these rights and collect the license fees and pay writers are called Performing Rights Organisations (PRO\u2019s). Here in the UK that organisation is the Performing Rights Society (PRS for music). You can sign up with PRS as a writer for \u00a3100 inc VAT.<\/p>\n<p>Also when music is sold, whether that\u2019s through a CD, on vinyl, via a download or through streaming, royalties of 8.5%\u00a0of the sale price are deducted. These are called mechanicals. This is then paid to the another nonprofit organisation called Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS). This was traditionally paid by the label for physical products such as CDs and vinyl, however these days with digital formats such as streaming and downloads it is the responsibility of the Digital Service Providers (DSPs) such as Spotify and Beatport to pay this directly to MCPS. You can sign up with MCPS as a writer for \u00a3100 inc VAT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Master Copyright<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When commercially released music is performed publicly you would be due royalties. This would include being played on radio, TV or played at a pub or club. Venues, TV &#038; Radio stations all pay a license fee for them to be able to use music. The royalties that are generated are automatically split 50% for the label and 50% for the artists and performers. These royalties can often be referred to as Neighbouring Rights.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, the nonprofit organisation the handles these rights and collect the license fees and pay artists, performers and labels are called PPL. You can sign up as either an artist or label with PPL for free.<\/p>\n<p>When signing up as a label, they will also be issued an ISRC registration code. This will enable labels to create their own ISRC\u2019s which they will need to register with PPL. An ISRC is a unique identifier for music and music videos. As well as being used as unique identifier for things such as accurate royalty calculations and payments, it is also used by the UK charts to help track chart placement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><a href=\"#pageTop\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2666\" style=\"position: relative; bottom: 8px; right: 4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cygnusmusic.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/arrow-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"12\" height=\"18\" \/> Back to top<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n                        <\/div>\n                    \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.tb-column -->\n\t\t\n\t\t\n                                <\/div>\n                                <!-- \/row_inner -->\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!-- \/module_row -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"themify_builder_row module_row clearfix repeat module_row_66 themify_builder_132_row module_row_132-66\">\n\t\t\t\t                                <div class=\"row_inner \" >\n\n                                    \n\t\t<div  class=\"tb-column col4-2 first module_column tb_132_column module_column_0 module_column_132-66-0\" >\n                                                                <div class=\"tb-column-inner\">\n                            \n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-66-0-0\" class=\"module module-text text-132-66-0-0  repeat \">\n    \n    <p><a name=\"Maximising\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-align-left\">How songs can be used<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\n\n\n<!-- module text -->\n<div  id=\"text-132-66-0-1\" class=\"module module-text text-132-66-0-1  repeat \">\n    \n    <p class=\"text-align-left\">Many songwriters work with representatives to help navigate and collect royalties on the use of their music globally.
