Publishing Companies
Music publishers own or administer the copyrights in musical compositions on behalf of songwriters and composers. They register works with PROs and MROs worldwide, license songs for sync, sheet music, lyrics, and digital uses, and collect mechanical, performance, sync, and print royalties globally.
The three majors — Sony Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group, and Warner Chappell — control roughly 60% of the global publishing market.
Independent publishers and admin platforms compete on better splits, faster pipelines, and creative services.
A publishing deal can be a full publishing assignment, co-publishing, sub-publishing, or pure administration (admin deal).
