SoundExchange is the first sound recording performance rights organization in the world to offer monthly distributions. Some PROs in other countries pay annually.

SoundExchange, which recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, has paid out more than $2 billion to rightsholders from 2,000 digital music services ranging from Pandora to SiriusXM . Initially, monthly royalty payments will be sent to members that receive electronic payments, and have royalties due of at least $250\. Artists and labels that do not meet the threshold will continue to be paid quarterly. Related articles
