Why Multi‑Platinum Producers Should Register Their Tracks for Publishing

Achieving multi‑platinum status is a milestone, not a finish line. Even with massive streaming numbers, chart-topping hits, and sync deals in place, you can still leave lots of revenue on the table—unless your tracks are meticulously registered for publishing.

1. Capture Every Revenue Stream from Your Hits

Multi‑platinum successes generate earnings across streaming, radio, live plays, syncs, and downloads—but only if you’re properly registered:

• Performance royalties from PROs (ASCAP, BMI, PRS).

• Mechanical royalties from streams, downloads, and physical sales.

• Sync fees when your tracks fuel ads, TV, film, or games.

Without registration, these guaranteed earnings slip through the cracks—despite your undeniable success.

2. Protect Your Legacy & Ownership

High-profile tracks attract attention. Registering your own compositions:

• Verifies ownership of every share.

• Clears metadata so you and your co-writers get credited.

• Pre-empts disputes, especially around splits and sync negotiations.

3. Turn Platinum Status into Sync Success

Media decision-makers like music supervisors love recognizable music—but they also need clean rights to license. When your tracks are registered:

• Licensing agents and music supervisors prefer working with you.

• Negotiations and clearances move faster.

• You tap into extended revenue from lucrative sync placements.

4. Leverage Full Transparency & Analytics

PROs and publishing administrators provide in-depth usage data:

• Exact performance counts, by territory and platform.

• Insight into demographic reach—critical for marketing and release strategies.

• Clear royalty statements, so you’re never in the dark.

5. Scale Up Like a Business

Multi‑platinum producers are not just creators—they're entrepreneurs. To keep scaling:

• File split sheets upfront to avoid later disagreements

• Partner with a global publishing administrator for worldwide publishing royalties
