Register with SoundExchange today to collect the artist share of your digital performance royalties! Pandora is an online radio company with around two million average active sessions per month. The company has experienced a steady decline in the past 4 years, but it still retains around 60 million registered users and is the 6th biggest music streaming platform in the world in Compared to other streaming platforms Pandora is less generous in its payouts for its artists.
How much are we talking about? With Spotify, you would need people to listen to your content. Pandora is perhaps not the first choice for people to upload their songs. But it is by no means, something anyone should avoid. Artists are continuing to receive their royalties through SoundExchange that takes its usual fee of roughly 4.
The details of Premium royalties vary from license to license and are confidential. Here are the three ways royalties are paid out. Tracks not covered by direct deals are played on only non-interactive radio stations under the statutory license.
If you are a non-US resident, you can still submit your songs to Pandora for consideration. Be aware that at this moment, Pandora Radio is only available for US residents. If Pandora becomes available for the rest of the world, musical artists will be able to expand their audiences and get more streams. However, in general, premium services pay out about 70 percent of revenue to rights holders. About 57 percent of revenue goes to record labels.
Not every track heard in Premium is covered by a direct license, however. When a license has not been obtained directly, Pandora will utilize the compulsory license available to non-interactive digital services. This is the approach Pandora took until direct deals were signed last year. And for these tracks not licensed directly, all royalties are paid to SoundExchange for distribution to artists and labels.
For spins on the ad-supported tier, artists are continuing to receive their royalties through SoundExchange just as they did before the direct deals. Even though direct deals were put in place, both Pandora and record labels feel that routing royalties through SoundExchange is fair to artists and should be continued. This means artists receive the ad-supported royalties regardless of the terms of their label contracts.
SoundExchange takes its usual fee of roughly 4. The way labels are receiving their ad-supported royalties has changed , however. Under the direct licensing deals, labels will receive their ad-supported royalties directly from Pandora, not through SoundExchange as before. Because of the confidentiality of the licensing agreements, the per-stream rates are not being made public.
Pandora Plus is the result of these direct licenses. In accordance with Pandora's Direct Deals for the new interactive subscription services, all other sound recording royalties are paid to your record label or distributor.

Pandora has retained MRI, to assist in the procurement of mechanical licenses and to administer mechanical royalty payments earned in connection with those licenses.
It is necessary for you, through your music publisher, to affiliate with MRI in order to receive these royalties. Songwriters and publishers that would prefer to have their compositions licensed on a compulsory basis must still provide their composition and payment information in order to receive their mechanical royalties from MRI.
