How do we report royalties?

We report royalties to artists, songwriters, publishers and record labels on a regular basis.

We provide detailed information about the usage of their music on the app, including the number of streams, downloads, and purchases. We also provide information about the revenue generated by Lissen, and the percentage of that revenue that is being paid to them.

In addition, we provide detailed information about the amount of time that users spend listening to each song or album, and the percentage of royalties earned by each artist, songwriter, publisher or record label.

How do we pay royalties?

We pay royalties to collecting societies (PROs, CMOs...) on a regular basis, typically on a monthly or quarterly basis. We pay royalties electronically, via direct deposit or wire transfer, unless other arrangements have been made.

When we can pay royalties directly to rights-holders, it will be done monthly. Rights-holders can opt-in for electronic withdrawal or electronic payment.
