    A few things that I notice when working on updating your lyrics with Musixmatch. 1. Make sure you sign up with a PRO account at about.musixmatch.com/artists/musixmatch-pro-pricing 2. Select Sign in and Continue with the Free Plan 3. They have updated their identity verification policy. Representing artists means you need to verify your identity. Wait for that verification. 4. Add an artist to your roster if you haven't already. That seems to be the main issue with showing lyrics.

    I have TuneCore Publishing administrator but this is my first day hearing about MLC. I had a song do 12.9 million plays on KZread shorts but tunecore only shows about 200K of these plays this happened in 2021. I’ve been waiting and waiting but maybe this is the key. I did only purchase a wav file for the song so is there a cutoff because of this?

    this may help but not necessarily, it would be considered a licensed use. just a few things to check: 1. are all 12.9MM plays the actual song not a copy of the audio. a copy of the audio would be you uploading the song in your short instead of searching for it from the youtube database. maybe send me a link to the post so i can see it.

    That’s a great point so I’ll pin this comment: - unions historically get people that are underpaid more compensation through collective bargaining - unions can take collective action until demands are met, showing the power of employees - music unions can join forces with venues and ticketers to demand fair compensation and retention of their merchandise $ - music unions can ensure other creatives are compensated for musical works (songwriters, producers, session musicians) - this is the second video i’ve done on musicians unions m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqJlsaukoKS4nKg.html
