Following recent discussions regarding A&Rs listed on track line-ups, PPL convened a collaborative review with performers, recording rightsholders and industry bodies including the Music Managers Form (MMF), Featured Artists Coalition (FAC), Music Producers Guild (MPG) and the Musicians’ Union (MU), to explore ways to improve processes related to this matter.
As a result, PPL has adjusted the performer line-ups on a small number of recordings and provided additional guidance for members within its Performer Roles Guide and Performer Claims Guide. We are working with the various trade bodies to hold a series of educational seminars for their members on these guides and are also in the early stages of trialling a new notification process to alert performers and recording rightsholders when changes are made to track line-ups they are linked to. We will continue to work with our recording rightsholder members and industry partners such as the MU on improving the provision of timely, quality performer information.
As ever, members are able to raise any questions regarding their repertoire by contacting PPL’s Member Services team.
