What to Know About BeatStars Publishing's admin partner, Believe

Starting on April 1, 2026, BeatStars Publishing will be starting a new era with our new global publishing administration partner, Believe Music Publishing.

This move represents a meaningful upgrade to the infrastructure behind BeatStars Publishing, designed to improve how royalties are collected, how quickly works are registered, and how global opportunities are accessed at scale.

‍

Introducing Believe Music Publishing

BeatStars’ new publishing administration partner, Believe, is the largest independent music company in the world, operating across more than 200 territories and 50+ countries.

Their systems are built around automation, at-source collection, and detailed matching at a global level. That combination has already demonstrated measurable impact, including significant revenue improvements across large catalogs.

‍

What’s Improving

This transition introduces four major upgrades to how BeatStars Publishing operates behind the scenes.

1. Stronger Global Royalty Collection
With music consumption increasingly global, Believe brings more connected and locally effective collection infrastructure, improving matching accuracy and capturing value earlier across 200+ territories.

2. Faster Registration Turnaround
A more automated system replaces manual workflows, reducing registration times to under six weeks, often just days, and minimizing delays between release and monetization.

3. Expanded Opportunity Through Believe’s Ecosystem
Access to a broader network of artists, labels, and sync opportunities increases the surface area for placements and collaboration.

4. Proactive DSP Scanning and Catalog Discovery
Large-scale scanning identifies downstream usage across millions of tracks, surfacing previously unregistered songs and unlocking new royalty opportunities.

‍

What Remains Consistent

While the infrastructure is evolving, the core BeatStars Publishing experience remains steady. The goal is continuity in experience, paired with meaningful improvement in performance.

• Existing deal structures and royalty splits remain unchanged at 80/20
• BeatStars continues as the primary platform and support layer
• Existing catalogs and registrations remain intact
• Ongoing royalty collection continues without interruption

‍

Looking Ahead

The partnership between BeatStars and Believe builds a publishing foundation that optimized for today's collection realities and creates major opportunities for our members.

Additional enhancements, including expanded analytics and deeper visibility within BeatStars Studio, are expected to roll out throughout 2026.
