Why Urban Radio Is Still a Goldmine for Young Urban Artists

Radio generates substantial performance royalties via organizations like ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. Every spin on major market stations can net significant royalties compared to fractions of a cent per stream on Spotify or Apple Music, driving both immediate revenue and major brand exposure.
