A stream on Apple Music is worth 33% more in publishing royalties

How to make more money from your songs on Apple Music with CD Baby Pro

When a listener in the US streams one of your original songs on Apple Music, it’s worth 33% more in publishing royalties than a stream on a competing service.

Why? Well, most streaming services pay 10.5% of their total revenues to U.S. publishing rights holders.
Apple Music is paying more, 13.5% to be exact. So a play on Apple Music will earn you 33% more in publishing royalties.

Remember, US Performing Rights Organizations like BMI and ASCAP do NOT collect mechanical royalties for you, so if you don’t have a publishing deal, you can only collect those additional royalties by signing up with Apple directly or by using a publishing administrator like CD Baby Pro.

What’s the benefit of CD Baby Pro?
