TuneCore adds free collaborator royalty splits

TuneCore has added the ability for artists using its d.i.y. distribution platform to split streaming and download revenue between collaborators on any track or album. 

TuneCore will provide automatic payouts to each collaborator as well as full visibility into payout details.

All TuneCore artists on a paid UNLIMITED release plan can utilize royalty splits, while those who utilize TuneCore’s free New Artist plan can access splits for just $7.99 a year through the Splits Collaborator add-on, all with no royalty commission paid to TuneCore.

“For years, self-releasing artists at all stages of their careers have been required to take on additional support roles to sustain their artistic endeavors.,” said Andreea Gleeson, TuneCore CEO. “By offering splits, TuneCore artists can now spend less time being accountants and more time making great music.”
