Questions musicians ask
Common questions about QQ Music
- How do I get my music on QQ Music?
- Create a free Notes account, add your release, and Notes delivers it to QQ Music 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 QQ Music?
- Most releases reach QQ Music 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.
- Does Notes take a cut of my QQ Music royalties?
- No. Notes is a flat monthly subscription with a free tier to start, so your QQ Music royalties are paid to you in full — nothing skimmed off the top.
- Does Notes collect my songwriting royalties too, or just the recording?
- Both. Alongside your QQ Music delivery, Notes registers your songwriter credits with PROs and The MLC, so the publishing royalties behind every play get collected as well.
