Credits Due: the music industry’s new royalty and metadata campaign

ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus unveiled the Credits Due Campaign on 21 September, which seeks to combat the metadata issue in the music industry so that music streaming sites can make faster and more accurate royalty payments to composers and artists. As streaming has become the norm for music consumption, the problem posed by the ‘metadata gap’ will only grow unless steps are taken to tackle the issue. This is where the Credits Due campaign comes in.
