"Lots more performances of music are needed online to generate meaningful royalties since each download or stream is individual in comparison to the wider audience numbers achieved by broadcasts on traditional media channels such as radio or TV." "The trend for posting self-made videos is driving the number of performances on the websites we license," Shaw said. That cash was earned from over 60m downloads and streams of music on licensed sites. Last year MCPS-PRS collected online royalties of just £7m, although that is up 40% on the previous year. The video for the track by rapper Soulja Boy Tell'Em - real name DeAndre Ramone Way - sparked a dance craze in the US which has seen British teenagers video themselves while copying the moves.Īndrew Shaw, managing director of Broadcast and Online at the Alliance said "hairbrush divas" are helping to generate cash for writers, but the revenues are still small compared with radio and public performance revenues. The MCPS-PRS Alliance said that self-made videos - more often than not showing teenagers performing the songs to camera themselves - helped boost revenues for Bleeding Love and second placed track Crank Dat Soulja.
The websites themselves pay the royalties for songs uploaded and subsequently viewed by UK users. As a result it collects money when songs - either original versions or covers by amateur video uploaders - are played. Last year the MCPS-PRS Alliance signed licensing deals with video-sharing phenomenon YouTube, owned by Google, as well as other social networking websites including Bebo. The track, released by Sony BMG, was composed by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder and former boy band member Jesse McCartney. The MCPS-PRS Alliance, which collects and pays royalties to composers and songwriters, said the track was the most popular on websites - such as YouTube, iTunes and Bebo - which it licenses to use copyrighted music, and the most played on online radio stations.īleeding Love, which spent seven weeks at number one in the UK, saw Lewis become the first British female solo artist to get to the top spot in the US since Kim Wilde in 1987, after she sang it on the Oprah Winfrey show. X Factor winner and US chart-topper Leona Lewis has garnered herself another accolade with more British internet users picking her song Bleeding Love to accompany their homemade online videos than any other artist last year.
