Description
Collect royalties generated by this collection of electronic dance music as well as production tracks used in TV shows.
The highest-earning source in the last 12 months is TV, with 32% of income. These earnings derive from music used in the Emmy-nominated animated series American Dad. Four songs included in this offering are placed in a single episode — “Standard Deviation” — in Season 13 of the series. The catalog also boasts strong international income in the last year, thanks to EDM’s global appeal.
The top-earning EDM track is the 2017 release “Limitless” from Billboard-charting producer Sam F. and pop vocalist Sophie Rose. “Limitless” broke into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Dance Airplay weekly charts, peaking at No. 9.
Other notable tracks include “Clout 9” from LGBTQ-advocate LIL PHAG featuring Bella Thorne, Dr. Woke, and Tana Mongeau, along with “All We Got” from Sam F. featuring Lizzy Land. “All We Got” was also used in an episode of the MTV series Siesta Key.
Key Drivers
TV/Film Placements. This catalog benefits from placements in TV/Film, contributing 42% of this catalog's historical earnings. Four songs are included in an episode (“Standard Deviation”) of the popular animated TV series American Dad.
The episode debuted in 2016, but thanks to the series’ popularity and continued interest, past episodes (and new seasons) are airing on TBS. American Dad is also available on streaming platforms including Hulu and Amazon Prime. Every time “Standard Deviation” airs on TV or is streamed on-demand, as the winning bidder, you’ll earn a public performance royalty.
Electronic Dance Music & Streaming. According to BuzzAngle’s 2018 Music Report, as a genre, nearly 88% of EDM listeners tune in on on-demand streaming platforms. In the last 12 months, this collection earned 28% of its income from streaming platforms and these earnings are on the rise.
According to 2018 IMS Business Report, the EDM (electronic dance music) industry is currently valued at $7.4 billion and could be worth nearly $9 billion by 2021. In fact, EDM as a genre is beginning to blend into mainstream culture, with crossover hits appearing in both pop and R&B categories. As the once-underground genre becomes more deeply embedded in mainstream culture, crossover tracks bridge the gap between genres.
