Songview
The four major U.S. PROs, BMI, ASCAP, GMR and SESAC, are collaborating to provide a single source of detailed public performance copyright information for over 40 million musical works.
Songview was developed by BMI and ASCAP, to provide music users with the first comprehensive, reliable and consistent data on songwriters, composers, music publishers and copyright ownership shares for the vast majority of songs licensed in the United States.
With Songview, the participating societies are working together to make copyright data more accessible and transparent for all of our partners.
How It Works
This innovative system ingests song ownership information from the four participating societies, processes and reconciles that information based on agreed-upon rules, and then sends the reconciled data back out to BMI and ASCAP's public, searchable databases.
More Detailed Information
With Songview technology integrated into the search tools, BMI and ASCAP are able to seamlessly display detailed, aggregated copyright ownership data for over 40 million musical works in the combined repertoires, including a breakdown of shares by PRO.
More Complete Copyright Data
When you see the Songview checkmark next to a song, you know that the songwriters, publishers, and ownership shares shown on BMI and ASCAP's public, searchable databases are accurate, reliable, and consistent across the participating societies.
