With today's payout from PPL, RBL Music has now collected over half a million pounds for clients in writing, arranging and performing royalties. The vast majority of these folk are ordinary everyday working musicians, and it's been great to help them access monies that they may have missed out on.

Performing Right Society predict that overall royalties revenue for writers, composers and arrangers will be down by 15-20% for 2020 compared to 2019. The biggest hit will obviously be to royalties from live gigs, which are predicted to be down 50-75%. Radio, TV and digital royalties will stay about the same overall, but hidden in this will be a drop in radio and TV (as advertising income is reduced) and a rise in digital. It's unclear how BBC royalties will be affected.
