TuneCore Expands Music Publishing Services and User Experience to Aid Independent Songwriters

TuneCore, the leading independent development partner for self-releasing artists—owned by Believe, one of the world’s leading digital music companies—has rolled out a comprehensive suite of music publishing services to help independent songwriters increase their earnings in over 200 countries.

 

Andreea Gleeson, Chief Executive Officer, TuneCore commented, “TuneCore Publishing now offers songwriters even more flexibility and control over their publishing revenue while also providing key analytical insights to help our songwriters grow their careers. By expanding our services and enhancing our interface, we are proud to offer self-releasing artists the most comprehensive suite of music publishing services that will put more money in their pockets—more quickly—wherever in the world it is earned. We are also investing in resources and teams as we grow TuneCore Publishing into the category leader, positioning the company as the perfect complement to our leading artist development and distribution platform.”

 

TuneCore first began offering publishing administration services in 2012 and has since paid out more than $125 million in publishing revenue to independent songwriters, with more than 87% of publishing revenue collected since the company first partnered with Sentric in 2018. The company has sent out 97 million song registration records, 11 million in 2023 alone, along with over 1 billion lines of royalties.

 

TuneCore’s newly expanded music publishing services arrive at no increased cost for TuneCore artists, with TuneCore Publishing continuing to allow songwriters to submit unlimited songs for a one-time $75 set-up fee and a competitive 15% commission. 

 

In addition to providing best-in-class publishing administration services, TuneCore Publishing now allows songwriters to collect royalties from multiple artist collaborations under the same account, register an unlimited number of songs worldwide, provides extensive, personalized royalty analytics highlighting which songs, territories, and sources have yielded the highest impact for songwriters, and offers seamless integration with artist pages on Spotify where songwriters can register songs they have distributed. TuneCore Publishing also allows songwriters to retain 100% ownership of the copyrights to their compositions and provides faster royalty payments through direct memberships with pay sources and PROs in more than 240 territories worldwide, representing more than any other company in its category.

 

TuneCore has also significantly enhanced the TuneCore Publishing interface, giving songwriters the ability to submit multiple recordings of their compositions directly from their dashboard, improving user experience, and allowing songwriters to more easily maximize their publishing earnings. 

 

Through expanded services, faster payments, and increased transparency into the complex world of music publishing, TuneCore has established itself as one of the leading providers of music publishing services on behalf of self-releasing artists, giving them the greatest opportunity to earn money from their music and build sustainable careers.
