The essentials
Royalty reporting needs context.
A royalty number is the end of a longer process. A listener uses music on a digital service, that service processes activity under its own model, and reporting reaches the distributor on a later schedule. Because services and territories differ, royalties do not arrive as one universal rate or at one universal time.
Oxtune brings reported revenue into the same environment as your releases and performance information. That connection helps you compare platforms and periods, follow available balances and payout progress, and understand which parts of a catalog are contributing to reported activity.
Good reporting does not replace accounting, legal, publishing, or tax advice. It gives artists and catalog teams a clearer operational record: what was released, where activity appeared, what revenue was reported, and how that information changed over time.

Release checklist
Read royalties with the right questions.
A strong review looks beyond the headline balance. Compare the period, platform, territory, release, and reporting status before drawing conclusions from any change.
Which reporting period is included?
Which services contributed to the total?
Which releases or tracks generated activity?
Which territories changed most?
Is the data estimated or finalized?
What platform fee applies to the selected plan?
What amount is currently available?
Which records should be retained for accounting?
Questions, answered
What artists should know
What are music streaming royalties?
+
Music streaming royalties are payments connected to eligible use of music on digital services. The amount reported can depend on factors such as the service, listener territory, subscription or advertising model, usage type, and the rights associated with the recording or composition.
Does every stream pay the same amount?
+
No. There is no single universal per-stream rate. Services use different models, and reported value can vary by territory, listener plan, revenue pool, usage, and other platform-specific factors.
Why do royalty reports arrive after the streams happen?
+
Digital services report and process activity on their own schedules. A delay between listening activity and finalized royalty reporting is normal, and timing can differ by platform and reporting period.
What can I review in Oxtune?
+
Oxtune is designed to connect revenue history, platform performance, and payout progress to the releases in your catalog, giving you a clearer view of reported activity from one dashboard.
Are recording royalties and publishing royalties the same?
+
No. The sound recording and the underlying composition are separate rights. Distribution reporting generally relates to eligible activity for the delivered recording; publishing and songwriter income may involve separate rights, registrations, and collection processes.
