Our music is the world’s music.

In 1919, ASCAP signed our first agreement with a foreign performing rights organization (PRO). Today we have reciprocal agreements with more than 100 PROs around the world. We are proud to work closely with our global partners to ensure that music creators and publishers get paid, wherever their music is heard.

How we collect international royalties

When ASCAP music gets played overseas, our international sister societies monitor the performances and send the royalties to ASCAP. Then we distribute them to our members in our quarterly international distributions.

Our international advantage

From our involvement in international music organizations to the innovative programs we’ve developed to make international royalty tracking more efficient, ASCAP is a global leader in music rights.
