Am I reliant on a label to register a recording before I can claim my income?

PPL can only license a sound recording if the sound recording rightsholder is a member of PPL, and they must have registered the recordings on the PPL Repertoire Database in order for us to be able to allocate royalties.

If your record label has not registered a particular recording with PPL, you will not be able to claim against it until they do so.

If you wish to claim against a recording as a performer on that recording, and you are also the recording rightsholder for that recording, you can register it first via your recording rightsholder membership and then claim against it as a performer.
