YOU WANT THE ORIGINAL TRACK?

How much will I be charged to license a song?

There aren't any rules or strict rates - the fee is always negotiable. Publishers consider a number of factors including (but not limited to): the rights required the period of the license (5 years, 1 year, life of copyright, perpetuity) the status of the song (Was it recorded by a popular artist? Is it a current hit?) the song's use and prominence in the production (Will the song be played during the opening credits? Will it be played in the background of a 10-second scene only?) the overall production budget where the film will be released whether the song will be included on a film soundtrack album Keep in mind that in some cases the song may not always be available for licensing.
