Why your numbers change over time
If your most recent weeks look light and then grow, that is expected. Platforms report on a delay Stores and streaming services send us statements on their own schedule, often weeks after the plays happened. Your dashboard keeps itself current as each new statement lands, so recent periods fill in over time. "Latest full month" on Home The stats card on your Home page shows the most recent month with almost-complete data, precisely so you are looking at a reliable number rather than a half-reported one. What this means for you - Do not judge a new release by its first few days in the dashboard. Give the data time to arrive. - Older months are stable. Recent weeks are still catching up. - The footer shows when stats were last updated. Nothing is lost in the meantime. Every stream is counted once its statement is processed.
🖋️ PublishingWhat publishing covers
Publishing is about the song itself (the composition), separate from any one recording of it. Here is what we handle when publishing is on. Registration with a collecting society We declare the works so publishing royalties are collected correctly. In France this means a SACEM registration, which you will see as its own stage on a release ("SACEM registration", then "awaiting validation"). Collecting publishing royalties Beyond streaming payouts, compositions earn royalties through performance and mechanical rights. Publishing is how those get collected and paid to the writers. Sync and stock licensing We actively look for opportunities to place your music: sync (film, TV, ads, online video) and stock or production-music libraries. These can bring in licence income and expose your music to new audiences, which often lifts streams too. Who gets paid Publishing follows the songwriter and composer credits on the song. That is why the roles and legal names in your splits matter (see "Why legal names and roles matter for publishing").
💶 Royalties & paymentsUnderstanding your dashboard
Your Earnings dashboard brings every stream, sale and view into one place. Here is how to read it. The headline stats - Total Revenue - all your income across sources for the selected period. - Total Streams - subscription streaming plays (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and so on). This excludes YouTube and ad-supported views. - Total Sales - downloads. - Video Views - ad-revenue and video plays, with the revenue they earned. - Avg Per Stream - average revenue per stream. - Countries - how many countries earned you revenue. Filters Narrow the view by date range, stores (main stores, downloads, meta) and region (Europe, North America, and so on). Tables and timeline Below the stats you get your top tracks, releases, stores, countries and videos, plus a timeline of revenue and quantity month by month. Your share If you collaborate on a song, the dashboard already shows your share of that song's revenue, not the full amount. A 50/50 track shows your half. Export Use Export to download your royalty line items or YouTube links as CSV.
🎛️ Studio & collaborationUsing the Studio tracker
The Studio (your tracker) is a free workspace to line up every project you are working on, from a first idea to a finished master. You do not have to release anything to use it. What it is for - Keep every track in progress in one place. - Move each project along its stages on boards and columns you control. - Attach notes, ideas and a cover to each track. - Upload work-in-progress audio and see upload progress. ID3 tags can auto-fill a track name for you. Custom boards and columns Organize the tracker your way. Create the boards and columns that match how you actually work. From tracker to release When a track is ready, you can turn it into a release, or add it to a release from the editor. Songs often start here and graduate into a release later. Keeping it tidy Collapse the sidebar for more room, and use the analytics view to see how your studio work is progressing. The tracker is yours to keep, free, whether or not you ever release through us.
🎛️ Studio & collaborationSending a demo
When a track is ready for us to hear, you can send it in as a demo. We listen to everything. How to send From a track in your Studio, send it to us as a demo when it is ready. If you would rather keep working on it, just leave it in the tracker. Your call. What happens next - Your demo goes into review. On your Home page it shows as In review with a note that we are listening. - The team is notified, so it never sits unseen. - If we want to take it forward, it becomes a release and you receive a contract (distribution, publishing, or both). Not every demo becomes a release We accept the tracks that fit one of our labels. If a demo is not a fit this time, it does not affect anything else you are working on, and you are welcome to send others. There is no cost to send a demo, and no obligation to release with us.
💶 Royalties & paymentsRequesting a payout
Even though payouts run automatically, you can ask to be paid whenever you like. How In Wallet, click Request payment and confirm.
