On Friday, December 30th, the U.S. Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) officially accepted a negotiated music industry settlement that sets songwriters’ streaming royalty rates from January 1st, 2023, through 2027.

Songwriters and music publishers will receive a phased-in rate based on U.S. streaming service revenue of:

- 15.1% in 2023
- 15.2% in 2024
- 15.25% in 2025
- 15.3% in 2026
- 15.35%. in 2024

The settlement was initially negotiated amongst a wide-ranging group of music industry trade groups, including the National Music Publishers’ Association and the Digital Media Association representing major streaming services, including Spotify, Amazon Music, and others.
