For your release to be applicable for social monetisation the release has to be a complete original and not contain any third-party material that was originally released by another musician.

So, for example, collaborating with other musicians on your own release such as having a back-up singer is allowed. But cover versions, remixes or using beats and samples from existing songs or online libraries [even free sample libraries] unfortunately won’t be allowed to opt-in for social monetisation.

If your release was created before April 2019, unfortunately we can’t currently allow for your release to be included in social monetisation, we will be looking to change this in the future so please keep an eye out and we’ll let you know when older catalogue material can be delivered.
