ARE YOU OWED ROYALTIES?

Recording artists and sound recording owners must be registered with SoundExchange in order to receive digital performance royalties for the use of their sound recordings on non-interactive platforms like SiriusXM, Pandora, and iHeart Radio. If you are a sound recording owner or a recording artist who has not registered with SoundExchange, then you can use the search tool below to see if you are owed royalties

SELECT YOUR STATUS

SoundExchange maintains four lists that reflect different statuses for each music creator for which we have collected unclaimed royalties.

We do not have registration information for any of the Creators Artists or the registered parties have not made a complete claim.
We have registration information for some, but not all, of the Performers who make up these Creators. For example, we may have registration information and may be paying royalties to four members of a five-Performer Artist, but the fifth Performer is not registered with us and is not receiving his/her share of the Artist’s royalties.
We do not have current registration information for these individuals.
We do not have registration information for these entities/individuals, or the registered party has not made a complete claim.

GUIDE TO KEY TERMS
