How to Get Your Music on iHeartRadio
US streaming and digital broadcast radio aggregator.
Visit iHeartRadio →iHeartRadio is the streaming and digital-radio arm of iHeartMedia, the largest US broadcast radio operator. It combines on-demand music with thousands of live radio simulcasts, paying both streaming royalties and neighboring-rights royalties.
Notes delivers to iHeartRadio's on-demand catalog and reconciles the SoundExchange-collected neighboring-rights royalties from the broadcast and webcast side.
How Notes works with this platform
What we do on iHeartRadio
- Deliver. Notes ships your sound recordings to iHeartRadio as part of every release, with credits and ISRCs included.
- Register. Your songwriter credits are registered with PROs and The MLC so the publishing side of every play is paid as well.
- Collect. iHeartRadio is non-interactive radio, so it pays neighboring-rights (digital-performance) royalties to the recording owner — collected in the US via SoundExchange — plus performance royalties to the songwriter via PROs. Notes makes sure you're registered to collect both, with no percentage taken.

Questions musicians ask
Common questions about iHeartRadio
- How do I get my music on iHeartRadio?
- Create a free Notes account, add your release, and Notes delivers it to iHeartRadio with your credits and ISRCs attached. You keep your masters and your rights — Notes never takes a percentage of your royalties.
- How long does it take for my music to appear on iHeartRadio?
- Most releases reach iHeartRadio within a few days. Setting your release date a couple of weeks out gives you time to line up pre-saves and pitch playlists before it goes live.

- No. Notes is a flat monthly subscription with a free tier to start, so your iHeartRadio royalties are paid to you in full — nothing skimmed off the top.
