About Song Economy
We love music. Our members live from it. Everyone who uses music publicly and registers with us contributes to this. In addition, concert and other music registrations tell us what the musical landscape in Germany is like. We want to shape this landscape together with other players in the music industry. That's why we provide them and anyone interested in music with facts and figures about the German music market: the Song Economy.
