Question

On the radio, whenver, say, "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles is played, does she get a portion of money? Like does the artist get some money from the radio station whenever their song is played?

10 points to the best, reliable answer =]]

Answer 1

yea they do. they call it royalties

Answer 2

i believe that they get paid by the radio station up front, not by how many times the station plays the song

Answer 3

no the artist does not get paid everytime their name is said. like for example if my name was said on the radio they would have to pay me if they paid stars to say their name or whenever their song is played same thing if someone sings on the radio they do not get paid

Answer 4

ASCAP, SESAC or BMI (music licensing agencies) gets paid based on an periodic audit of the stations' playlists. Then the songs are tabulated and a proportional amount goes to the writers and publishers. The artists get nothing from the stations - yet. They are working on it. But they get enough from SALES not AIRPLAY and trying to make radio pay up is a bit ungrateful, for  it is radio that leads people to buy the song(s). That's where the artists, labels and musicians make their money.

This is WORD.

Answer 5

Answer 6

The Radio station bares music on the FM or AM ststaions, general musicians make there money thru the sales of CD's and concerts!!!

Answer 7

Yes. They call it royalties.

Answer 8

yea they do get money when they play there songs on the radio.....

Answer 9

yep :D

Answer 10

no, she gets money to let them play the song, not every time

Answer 11

no, not everytime it plays. she has to pay them to get it on the radio. when she gets it on billboards, then she makes money!

Answer 12

Not necessarily.  The holder of the publishing for the song gets paid about 5 cents per minute each time a song airs.  If the artist is also the songwriter and has retained the rights to the publishing as well, then they do receive a cut of that.  An artist signed to a record company generally does so with the understanding that they will give up a certain percentage of their publishing rights to their respective record company.  Companies like ASCAP and BMI (performing rights societies) collect fees from radio stations and other venues where songs are performed; concert halls, night clubs, jukeboxes even.  They distribute the money to the holder(s) of the publishing rights for a percentage of what they collect.

Answer 13

The artist only gets payment if he or she is actually shown in information on the song as a song writer.

In the US:

Only song writers get royalties currently on radio performances and those aren't payed to the record companies as it's payed to one of three associations that writers belong to called ASCAP,BMI, or SESAC

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalties#M...

The record companies as of late is trying to get a new royalty usage fee assigned to radio to be payed to the record companies for the music

August Moon is exactly right however

Answer 14

Royalties (sometimes, running royalties) are usage-based payments made by one party (the "licensee") to another (the "licensor") for ongoing use of an asset

So the answer is yes every time they use it they are getting money or at least the record company does and then a portion( very small is then passed on to the artist)

Answer 15

royalties

Answer 16

its called a royalty

Answer 17

Song royalties usually go to the record label and then are disbursed to the artist and the songwriter.

Answer 18

Yes they do my stepdad is a singer and he gets money whenever his song is palyed its not a huge amount but its something! This is also how singers/bands make their money because sometimes just selling cds just dont cut it lol but if they play the song yes if they just say their name no. I hope this helps but i promise it is correct!

and also this is called a royiltie(spelt wrong srry) but it doesn't go directly to the singer it goes to the record label if they have one and then they get a portion of the money.

Answer 19

Yes.  Radio stations, tv shows, juke boxes all pay

royalties to the artist's publishing company.

Any commercial entity that plays a copyrighted recording

must pay royalties.

Answer 20

o i ♥ that song

n they reallly should say it's by Little Vioe(whch is what sara bielles calls herself)

they do get money, but very little

Answer 21

the artist will get some up front, but not everytime...there is no real way to tack how many times it was played

Answer 22

no

i think the artists pay the radio people to play their songs on the radio

because if the artists want to be heard they need to be on the radio

Answer 23

Nope.
