ASCAP for Android

11 things about ASCAP

1. ASCAP is the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, a performing rights organization (PRO) representing over 950,000 of the greatest songwriters, composers and music publishers in the world.

2. Our ASCAP Lab explores how new technologies and new business approaches can drive value for our members and the businesses that use their music.

3. ASCAP is the only PRO in the US founded and governed by songwriters, composers and music publishers.

4. Our governing documents require us to pay music creators first – a claim that only ASCAP can make.

5. The ASCAP app connects you to your ASCAP account, with innovative tools to help you get the most out of your membership, and boost your music career.

6. If you're an ASCAP songwriter, composer or music publisher, you've come to the right place.

7. We pay our members all of the music licensing revenue we take in, minus our operating expenses (among the lowest in the industry).

8. And we’re really good at what we do! In 2022, we achieved revenues of more than $1.522 billion, and distributed over $1 billion to our songwriter, composer and publisher members for the sixth year in a row.

9. Every decision about how we operate is made by music creators like you – not broadcasters, corporations and investors, like our competitors.

10. ASCAP’s main job is to pay you royalties when your music is played publicly by the businesses we license.

11. ASCAP offers the most advanced data processing systems of any PRO, to ensure that you get paid fairly and accurately.
