- Synchronization: Royalties paid to songwriters and publishers for use of a song as background music for a movie, TV show, or commercial.
This catalog has a well-balanced income mix between performance and — split with each bringing in 50% of historic income. Music in the catalog also has the possibility to earn an up-front sync fee for use in commercials, TV shows or movies.
