The court judgements have been extremely severe -- exceeding a million dollars! Note that ALL songs by both Neil Diamond and by Bob Dylan are now SESAC copyrights, of what the record label may show. We cannot guarantee we can alert you to “Recommended” songs licensed by SESAC, since music publishing is usually not indicated on the tracks we receive nowadays -- so if you don’t have a SESAC license, PLEASE do the necessary research to make sure no SESAC licensing is involved, for ALL your adds! To obtain Jim Brickman singles, or to get a letter from Brickman waiving a SESAC license for songs on which he is the composer, in order to play his songs without a SESAC license, call Brickman Music: 216/378-3624; FAX 216/378-7198. Additionally, Irving Azoff’s “Global Music Rights” is using SESAC strategy in licensing music -- Smokey Robinson, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and are among its many represented songwriters, with more to come. A temporary license is available, per the RMLC; you face million-dollar copyright violation lawsuits for playing their contracted songwriters’ songs if you don’t have one. See: www.globalmusicrights.com. You can also check the latest list of songwriters (“clients”) they claim to represent there, too. THE ADULT CONTEMPORARY MUSIC RESEARCH LETTER May 17, 2021 -- Page 5 Notes , by Trevor Daniel & Selena Gomez, on Alamo/Interscope, has a “flip the switch in a random place” ending -- in the middle of a note! The AC core audience really likes the song, but simply this sort of ending. We have our own edit of the end of the song which tests much better -- contact us to get a broadcast-quality MP3 version of that one, which is the only version we “Recommend”. For a stereo broadcast-quality MP3 of from South African superstar NiaNell’s eighth album, “Beautiful Escape”, e-mail your request to us the e-mail address you wish it sent to. You’ll need e-mailbox with at least 13 MB capacity per e-mail. To play on the air song composed in full or in part by John Lennon, or many other stars, you’ll now need a GMR license: http://globalmusicrights.com. See more about this on Page 4. in “NOTES”. If you need a song you cannot track down, let us know; if it’s been “Recommended” in our testing within a year or two, we can usually provide a broadcast-quality stereo MP3 of it for our radio subscribers.
