PLAYS™ Basics
Welcome to the PLAYS search engine
(PLAYS stands for Performance Log Archive
of Your Songs).
PLAYS is a database that allows you to search by featured artist, song title, album
or record label, using one or more fields or any
combination of fields, for performances of sound recordings as reported
by services operating under statutory license (including Internet-only webcasters, satellite
radio services or digital cable and satellite television music services).
Since 1998, SoundExchange has received and processed logs containing over
200 million performances and has distributed royalties to featured recording artists,
sound recording copyright owners and the independent administrators for the
funds established to compensate nonfeatured musicians and vocalists on copyrighted
sound recordings.
If you are the featured artist or sound recording copyright owner of a
song recording that appears in the search results of PLAYS and have neither
received any royalties to date nor registered with SoundExchange, then
SoundExchange may be holding digital performance royalties for you*.
In order to receive the royalties to which you may be entitled, please register with SoundExchange right away! Go here to download
forms. We hope that you will use PLAYS to identify your performances and to provide us with any corrections to information reported by statutory licensee or to update the ownership information of sound recordings if ownership has changed since its initial release.
*SoundExchange will not distribute royalties on an account until it has
reached the threshold of $10.
