Musicians losing out on millions due to wrongly allocated UK royalties, new research finds

• Research shows that UK nightclubs are misallocating more than £5.7 million in royalties each year, with only 28% of fees reaching the correct artists. This issue predominantly impacts electronic music artists, producers, and songwriters whose music is played in DJ sets but fails to generate the appropriate royalties.
• The implications of this misallocation are severe, as it results in substantial financial losses for artists who rely on these royalties for their livelihoods. The findings highlight the need for reform in how performing rights societies distribute funds to ensure that creators receive fair compensation for their work.
