It's tiiiiiiiiime! @MariahCarey’s holiday classic is about to be on every radio station in America. What will AM/FM pay her for performing it? Nothing. The American Music Fairness Act will change that.

The scariest thing on the radio this Halloween? Not paying performing artists a dime for their work. 👻 Let’s pass the American Music Fairness Act.

Your favorite country songs share a problem: AM/FM radio doesn’t pay the artists who sing them. Their songs keep country radio running, and they deserve to get paid when radio plays them. Tell Congress to pass the American Music Fairness Act.

Today we're celebrating #PublicRadioMusicDay and the stations that champion local and independent artists every day. Let's pass the American Music Fairness Act, which protects public radio and asks corporate broadcasters to finally pay artists.

Please always consider doing your research, so that when you comment, you actually sound like you know what you’re talking about. ASCAP collects royalties for writers and publishers. That has nothing to do with “performance royalties”, meaning Elvis never wrote a song and therefore was never paid when his songs were actually played on AM and FM radio., next time, Do research.
