We're working hard to pass the American Music Fairness Act.
The artists who earn $0 when their songs play on AM/FM radio work just as hard, and they deserve to be paid for it. Send Congress a letter: musicfirst.quorum.us/campaig…

SoundExchange President and CEO @MikeHuppe joined @NewsNation to talk AI, music, and @Spotify's latest move to pull AI-generated tracks from their platform.
🤠 This Country Music Month we tip our hat to the history and artists of one the classic American genres.
But even the biggest country legends, from @GeorgeStrait to @mirandalambert, don't get paid when AM/FM radio plays their songs.
Stand with them and tell Congress to pass the American Music Fairness Act.
Well if that’s true, you can afford to pay artists.
Right now, artists earn $0 for AM/FM airplay. Send your members of Congress a letter today: musicfirst.quorum.us/campaig…
We <3 paying recording artists for their work…
Radio giants, like @iHeartRadio, make billions off music they didn't write and don't own, all while the recording artists make $0.
Let’s change that. #NoRadioWithoutRoyalties
NEW: Senator @MarshaBlackburn asks @USPTO Director John A. Squires about the American Music Fairness Act during today’s Senate Judiciary hearing.
It’s time for Congress to send this bill to @realDonaldTrump’s desk so every artist gets paid for the work they do.
Standing up for recording artists doesn’t have to be hard. Send a letter to congress and tell them to act now: musicfirst.quorum.us/campaig…
ICYMI: @KaceyMusgraves performed “I Will Always Love You” in a moving tribute to the late, great Dolly Parton last night at the VMAs.
Radio corporations have profited off artists' music without paying them a dime, and it's the session players, studio musicians, and backup singers behind the scenes who feel it most.
That’s why we’re fighting for artists’ rights. It’s time to pass the American Music Fairness Act.
“Do you remember… the 21st night of September?”
@VerdineWhite, Earth, Wind & Fire's own bassist, signed on with 300+ artists demanding Congress finally pay musicians when radio plays their music.

Broadcasters rake in millions using artists' music without paying them. And now they want Congress to force every new car user to buy their product.
Congress: tell radio to pay artists, compete in the market, and quit begging Washington for special favors. @ctatech letter ⬇️
Spotify pays artists. Apple Music pays artists. YouTube, SiriusXM, and TikTok all pay artists.
AM/FM radio doesn't. Congress alone can close the radio loophole by passing the American Music Fairness Act.

U.S. artists may soon lose nearly $300 million each year in radio royalties. The EU is threatening to cut off payments because America does not pay artists for AM/FM radio.
