Take me back to the mid-20th century in the heyday of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/Carole-King\">Carole King<\/a> and the Brill Building system. How does that compare to today\u2019s songwriting business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> Israelite: It\u2019s a completely different industry today than it used to be, which is why it\u2019s so challenging to be a songwriter today. The rules are different\u2026the way the economics work is different. One of the biggest changes is that it used to be that you could be a songwriter that got a song on an album. If the album were successful, you were going to be successful. It didn\u2019t matter whether or not the one song you may have contributed was the hit song from the album, because the economics were all tied into the idea that people bought albums. So getting cuts was a very big goal of songwriters for artists that were going to sell big albums. Today, those economics are completely different. It\u2019s now about singles and about hits, and so getting an album cut can mean nothing, because you\u2019re really talking about a streaming economy where it\u2019s about the individual hits that people listen to. So I think that\u2019s one of the biggest changes for songwriters, is that they have to be hit writers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> Tedder: The difference between now and then is then, you used to be able to show up every day to write, knowing there was a high chance of what you were doing that week, that day would land on an album. And to David\u2019s point, make a meaningful income. Now, you might have to write five to 10 times the volume of songs with zero hope or guarantee that it will earn anything.<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story \/\/ lrv-u-align-items-center u-align-items-flex-start@mobile-max lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column@mobile-max u-width-710@desktop lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-u-margin-tb-1 u-margin-b-250@mobile-max u-margin-t-275@mobile-max u-margin-t-250@desktop u-margin-b-250@desktop u-margin-lr-n1@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-1 lrv-u-border-color-brand-secondary-dark lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-padding-tb-1 lrv-u-padding-tb-1@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-r-1@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-l-00@mobile-max u-grid-gap-18@desktop u-grid-gap-0@mobile-max\">\n<p><h3 id=\"title-of-a-story\" class=\"c-title a-article-related-module-title a-article-related-module-title--color-brand-primary a-font-accent-xl u-font-weight-800 u-letter-spacing-0179 u-line-height-normal lrv-u-color-grey-dark bb-pro-related-stories-label lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase\"> Related <\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story-wrapper lrv-u-flex lrv-u-justify-content-space-between a-children-border-vertical a-children-border--grey a-children-border-width-050\">\n<div class=\"o-card lrv-u-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"o-card__image-wrap lrv-u-flex-shrink-0 u-width-191 u-width-150@mobile-max\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image lrv-u-margin-b-00@mobile-max u-width-130px@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-b-00@mobile-max\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/pro\/grammy-nominations-exclude-interpolated-songwriters-change\/\" class=\"c-lazy-image__link lrv-a-unstyle-link\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"a-crop-6x4 a-crop-3x2@mobile-max\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bruno-mars-rose-apt-video-screenshot-billboard-1800.jpg?w=237&amp;h=147&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"Bruno Mars, Ros\u00e9, APT.\" data-lazy-srcset data-lazy-sizes=\"auto\" height width> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> <strong>One of the changes in the music business that is seen as a positive is that the barriers to entry, the gatekeepers, are now mostly gone. Anyone can make it. How did the opening of those floodgates in music impact songwriting as a profession?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> Tedder: The barrier to entry now is decent Wi-Fi\u2026Anytime you remove barriers to entry in any field, right, in any business, if you remove the barriers to entry, I think chaos reigns until you figure it out\u2026[Back in the day], there was a relationship between mass media and the music industry. It was a beautiful marriage that lasted about 80, 90 years. It was very simple: you did four to five years of development, you got your record deal, you wrote a hit and now we put all our muscle as a record label behind you. We\u2019re going to book you on <em>The Today Show<\/em>, <em>Tonight Show<\/em>, <em>The Voice<\/em> finale, and if you had a record and you did those three things, there was a [huge] chance that you had a hit\u2026.[Now, creating a hit song] is a lottery ticket, and winning the lottery isn\u2019t a business plan. It\u2019s not sustainable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> <strong>It\u2019s clear that the number of songwriters on hit songs has increased a lot over the last few decades, but to me, it feels like that\u2019s not the only problem. There are also folks that would typically be seen more as artists who also cut into the songwriter\u2019s income. How big of a problem is this today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> Israelite: It\u2019s a huge problem, and you have to understand the sources because there are two different issues at play. The first is that artists always want to be thought of as songwriters\u2026So there is a pressure for artists to take credit for songwriting, even if they didn\u2019t do that, in part because of their own ego or because they think it helps with their connection with fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> But there\u2019s a completely separate reason, which is that the economics of music and of the music industry has put a greater focus on trying to get some of that publishing money. Because\u2026streaming pays less \u2014 there are more people now sharing in that money, including streaming services themselves, which didn\u2019t used to be part of the equation when you sold albums \u2014 so artists often look at publishing as a way to supplement their revenue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story \/\/ lrv-u-align-items-center u-align-items-flex-start@mobile-max lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column@mobile-max u-width-710@desktop lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-u-margin-tb-1 u-margin-b-250@mobile-max u-margin-t-275@mobile-max u-margin-t-250@desktop u-margin-b-250@desktop u-margin-lr-n1@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-1 lrv-u-border-color-brand-secondary-dark lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-padding-tb-1 lrv-u-padding-tb-1@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-r-1@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-l-00@mobile-max u-grid-gap-18@desktop u-grid-gap-0@mobile-max\">\n<p><h3 id=\"title-of-a-story\" class=\"c-title a-article-related-module-title a-article-related-module-title--color-brand-primary a-font-accent-xl u-font-weight-800 u-letter-spacing-0179 u-line-height-normal lrv-u-color-grey-dark bb-pro-related-stories-label lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase\"> Related <\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story-wrapper lrv-u-flex lrv-u-justify-content-space-between a-children-border-vertical a-children-border--grey a-children-border-width-050\">\n<div class=\"o-card lrv-u-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"o-card__image-wrap lrv-u-flex-shrink-0 u-width-191 u-width-150@mobile-max\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image lrv-u-margin-b-00@mobile-max u-width-130px@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-b-00@mobile-max\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/pro\/nmpa-promotes-danielle-aguirre-charlotte-sellmyer\/\" class=\"c-lazy-image__link lrv-a-unstyle-link\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"a-crop-6x4 a-crop-3x2@mobile-max\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/danielle-aguirre-charlotte-sellmyer-nmpa-promotion-courtesy-of-nmpa.jpg?w=237&amp;h=147&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"Danielle Aguirre (left), Charlotte Sellmyer (right)\" data-lazy-srcset data-lazy-sizes=\"auto\" height width> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> And if you\u2019re a writer, it\u2019s a really tough place to be, because you are given a choice of, you can have maybe a very famous artist record your song. That\u2019s a pretty good guarantee that you\u2019ll make some money from your song if a more famous artist records it. But do you want to give up ownership of that, especially if it wasn\u2019t earned? And it\u2019s very difficult to speak out about the practice, because you complain about it, you\u2019ll never write with that artist again, and maybe other artists won\u2019t want to write with you. Songwriters are put in a terrible position about this, and many of them make the choice to just let it go and let the artist take a piece of credit they don\u2019t deserve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> <strong>Ryan, I imagine you\u2019ve had a lot of experience with this yourself. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> Tedder: I haven\u2019t had a year where it hasn\u2019t happened. I\u2019ve shut it down. I\u2019ve also had times where I\u2019ve realized that even if I lose 10 or 15% of this song, it\u2019s such a massive thing that I\u2019d rather have 80% of something than 100% or nothing. And I\u2019ll just go on record as saying this: It\u2019s happened to me more times than I can count, but when artists do that, the whole writing community finds out. Nothing spreads quicker than that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> Israelite: You also have to understand that he\u2019s experiencing this as Ryan Tedder. Imagine you are an unknown songwriter that\u2019s just starting out, and you don\u2019t have the name, ID and the credibility and the connections that someone like Ryan does. It\u2019s a serious problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> <strong>There have been many ideas thrown around as to how to get songwriters paid better. Per diems is one of them. The Ivors Academy in the U.K. has gotten some labels to agree to pay per diem rates to songwriters. There are also ideas like offering master points to writers, paying for gas and food, etc. Are these effective methods to help songwriters?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> Israelite: When it becomes very hard to make a living as a songwriter, you look for solutions of what might help. One of the things being discussed is the idea that writers should participate more in the recording pool of money, whether that\u2019s points on the record, a per diem fee, or some kind of flat upfront fee. Because remember, as a songwriter, you may give your song to an artist, but you don\u2019t necessarily know they\u2019re going to release it as the single, or put a lot of marketing behind it, and yet you\u2019re tying up that song with that one artist that could go to someone else.<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story \/\/ lrv-u-align-items-center u-align-items-flex-start@mobile-max lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column@mobile-max u-width-710@desktop lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-u-margin-tb-1 u-margin-b-250@mobile-max u-margin-t-275@mobile-max u-margin-t-250@desktop u-margin-b-250@desktop u-margin-lr-n1@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-1 lrv-u-border-color-brand-secondary-dark lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-padding-tb-1 lrv-u-padding-tb-1@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-r-1@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-l-00@mobile-max u-grid-gap-18@desktop u-grid-gap-0@mobile-max\">\n<p><h3 id=\"title-of-a-story\" class=\"c-title a-article-related-module-title a-article-related-module-title--color-brand-primary a-font-accent-xl u-font-weight-800 u-letter-spacing-0179 u-line-height-normal lrv-u-color-grey-dark bb-pro-related-stories-label lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase\"> Related <\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story-wrapper lrv-u-flex lrv-u-justify-content-space-between a-children-border-vertical a-children-border--grey a-children-border-width-050\">\n<div class=\"o-card lrv-u-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"o-card__image-wrap lrv-u-flex-shrink-0 u-width-191 u-width-150@mobile-max\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image lrv-u-margin-b-00@mobile-max u-width-130px@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-b-00@mobile-max\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/biggest-music-publishing-stories-2025-ai-spotify-more\/\" class=\"c-lazy-image__link lrv-a-unstyle-link\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"a-crop-6x4 a-crop-3x2@mobile-max\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/YE-PRO-2025-Publishing-hero-billboard-1800.jpg?w=237&amp;h=147&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"Publishing\" data-lazy-srcset data-lazy-sizes=\"auto\" height width> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> There are a lot of things that are being discussed, and we\u2019re supportive of them, but it\u2019s something that is going to have to be decided by the record label and artist community. And unfortunately, the expectation is that if record labels were to do it, they would probably just charge their artists, and it wouldn\u2019t necessarily come out of the record label side. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m \"> There\u2019s been this theory in the industry that the first record label that decides to really embrace this and start saying, \u201cWe\u2019ll give points. We\u2019ll give fees,\u201d that would get the writers to want to bring their top songs to that label and those artists. And the idea is that, instead of asking the label to do this as some kind of charity or gift, is there a label that sees this as an economic opportunity for themselves to get ahead of their competitors by attracting the better songs by offering these types of benefits? I think that might be a route that you might see some record labels decide to embrace.
