PRS for Music launches new dashboard to help members follow their royalties' flow

By Emmanuel Legrand

British rights society PRS for Music has unveiled a new dashboard that will "revolutionise the way we interact with our royalty data,” according to PRS Deputy Chairman Simon Darlow. The new tool, available to every member through their PRS for Music account, will allow users to have access to comprehensive analytics, data and insights into how their songs and compositions are performing across every revenue stream and international territory at a glance.

  PRS said the new dashboard, which was designed with the input of members, covers streams, downloads, broadcasts, public performances in businesses, and live performances around the world. Users will be able to build "a comprehensive picture of when and how royalties are being generated".

  PRS for Music Director of Membership Claire Jarvis said the new analytics service "enables our members to interrogate the global usage of their music in an innovative way."

  PRS tracks trillions of uses of music every year from streaming services, downloads, public performance, broadcast and live shows in over 150 countries. Over 500 set lists from live performances are submitted to PRS every single day. In 2018, over 500,000 new songs and compositions were registered with the organisation.
