MUSIC REPORTS' CLAIMING SYSTEM DELIVERS: OVER 500K TRACKS

Los Angeles, CA (September 12, 2016): Music Reports, the world's most advanced rights administration platform, is marking several new milestones signifying the success of its new online Claiming System, which allows publishers to claim and license recordings that embody their songs:

• More than 500,000 tracks have been claimed since Music Reports launched the Claiming System this spring;
• Over 1,000 publishers have used the system;
• With an average of 50 new publishers logging in each week;
• Claiming an average of 25,000 tracks per week

As a huge and growing number of new recordings are delivered to streaming music services each month, Music Reports is addressing one of the biggest challenges in the music publishing industry by providing the market its first platform for comprehensive, intuitive song matching and licensing. The Claiming System, which publishers can access through their free Music Reports web account (where they may also retrieve royalty statements and consider unique licensing opportunities) empowers publishers to ensure that all of their existing publishing data is up to date and to register new works as they are published.

"We said when we launched new Claiming System this spring that it would be a real game-changer, and these numbers prove it," said Bill Colitre, Vice President and General Counsel of Music Reports, Inc. "Given the unprecedented level of access and transparency our system provides, we are not surprised that so many publishers have logged in and claimed so many tracks, and we're looking forward to continuing publisher engagement."
