A huge congratulations to these six talented Songtrust writers for their contributions to some of this year’s #GRAMMY-winning works at the 67th Annual Awards. ??

We get it—not everyone gets excited about metadata, but it’s a critical part of today’s music industry. Inconsistent or missing recording information can result in millions of dollars never reaching the right songwriters, producers, and rights holders. That’s revenue left on the table due to preventable data gaps. Whether you're a songwriter or a music rep, ensuring your metadata is accurate and up-to-date is key to proper royalty distribution and getting paid. Don’t let confusion or oversight cost you, your collaborators, or your clients money. Get your metadata right, and make sure your royalties go where they belong.
