COMPASS requests for music cue sheets and playlists from music users. Where possible, one hundred percent analysis of the music used will be logged to distribute the royalty, as in the case with concerts. However, this may not be possible and/or feasible for all types of music usage. For example, it will not be cost efficient for COMPASS to monitor the songs played on the various stations round the clock on a daily basis. Thus sampling is done. Performances that are omitted in the analysis due to sampling, are compensated by royalty known as UPA or Unlogged Performance Allocations (see distribution rules: https://compass.org.sg/about-us/corporate-governance/). Members should submit programme returns to the Society whenever their works are used both locally and internationally. This should be done as soon as possible, preferably with supporting documents upon request.
