With Songview, ASCAP, BMI, GMR and SESAC are working together to make copyright data more accessible and transparent for all of our partners.

Songview is a comprehensive data platform that provides music users with an authoritative view of public performance copyright ownership and administration shares for the vast majority of music licensed in the United States.

UPDATE: Songview to Include Information from GMR & SESAC Repertories

For the first time, the four major US PROs are collaborating to provide a single source of detailed public performance copyright information for over 38 million musical works, offering even more transparency for the industry.

HOW IT WORKS
This innovative system ingests song ownership information from ASCAP and BMI (and soon, from GMR and SESAC), processes and reconciles that information based on agreed-upon rules, and then sends the reconciled data back out to each PRO’s public searchable databases.

MORE DETAILED INFORMATION
With Songview technology integrated into the search tools, ASCAP and BMI will seamlessly display detailed, aggregated copyright ownership data for over 38 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 the ASCAP and BMI websites are accurate, reliable and consistent among the PROs.

"This project is all about providing greater transparency for everyone who relies on this copyright data to guide important business decisions. When you see the Songview checkmark, you know that the data is consistent in both ASCAP and BMI’s copyright systems. Drawing upon our 197 years of combined ASCAP and BMI expertise in managing complex and dynamic copyright data, we have built a convenient new digital tool for anyone who licenses music.”– Beth Matthews, ASCAP CEO
