How to See What Each of Your Songs Earns
Updated 3 min read
How do you see what each of your songs earns? With Artist PRO, SoundEX.ai reads the reports that stores and distributors send, matches every line to the right song and shows what each song earns on each store, month by month.
Every line, matched to the right song
A royalty report lists every store, country and month in which your music was played. SoundEX.ai reads each line and matches it to the right recording through its track code, the code that identifies each recording on every store. Every play of a song is counted together, wherever it happened.
Payment tracking comes with Artist PRO, which opens when you release your first song through SoundEX.ai.
Your earnings, read three ways
| View | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| By song | Which songs carry your earnings, and how each one grows |
| By store | Where your music earns, from Spotify and Apple Music to YouTube Music and more |
| By month | How your earnings move over time, one statement after another |
See exactly what your music earns. Every song, every store, every month.
Streams today, earnings a few months later
Stores pay for plays a few months after the plays happen, so every statement covers an earlier month. SoundEX.ai shows your streams as they come in and your earnings as each statement arrives, side by side, so you always know which month you are reading.
The monthly earnings view shows the official statement amounts. The streaming graphs show your plays as they come in. Together they show where your music is heard today and what it has earned.
One history for your whole catalog
Every statement adds to the same history. The story of each song stays in one place from its first month on, so you can compare releases, see which songs keep earning and plan your next release with the full picture.
