If your music was played on radio in 2025, you will receive your first payment in 2026.

What is main payment?
This is the largest payment of the year.
It covers recordings that were played on radio, in shops, cafés, gyms and similar places the year before.
We distribute payments to everyone registered as a rightholder for these recordings.
What is post payment?
Covers airplays from the past three years.
These payments are made when we have found new rightholders or received updated information since the previous payment.
In short:
Main payment: for airplays from the previous year
Post payment: for corrections and newly identified rightholders from the past three years
Final payment for a year: closes that year. After this, no further payments are made for airplays from that year.
