Get Ready for The MLC’s Market Share: Review Your Songs

With The MLC’s first phase of Market Share distributions planned for 2027, now is the perfect time to review your catalog and make sure your song ownership information is accurate and up to date. The MLC is continuing to match mechanical royalties and connect them with the right copyright owners – separate from SESAC performance royalties.
