After your first release.

What to do next

• Read the live release. Title, art, writers, and the human or AI label should match the file you uploaded.
• Register publishing if you have not. Societies collect the song. Stores collect the recording. Both can be yours.
• Add a payout method. You can see totals on every account. You can withdraw once real royalties arrive.
• Boosts are optional. Chart Push, Streaming Push, Social Push, and Video Collect are open to every artist. They are not for sale on the public site.
• If you already have other songs, bring that catalog when you are ready. There is no higher tier for it.
• Start the next song when this one is settled. Song Helper, Cover Art, and Battle are optional. A small monthly credit allowance is included. You can add credits when you need them.

The account is free. There is no plan to leave and no plan to join.

PLAIGROUND takes none of the royalties. Artists keep 100% of their royalties. Stores still take their usual cut. We do not add another one.

Tell us what a human did. We still deliver Fully AI even if a store will not pay.

For artists who’d rather be making the next one than reading a distribution agreement.
