Music royalties are payments made to the rights holders of a musical work, such as songwriters, artists, and publishers, whenever their music is used commercially. These payments ensure that creatives are compensated for their work through various types of royalties, including mechanical royalties for reproduction (like streams and sales), performance royalties for public plays (on radio or streaming services), and sync royalties for use in other media like film or TV.
