Complete BS post. Go look on beatport, there's nothing at the top of any of the charts called "Party Time". Not to mention no specifics are mentioned, label name, artist name, ect. Why do people waste our time with this hogwash. Oh, I forgot, just to mess with us :P
Let's defeat this goofball at his on game, and turn this into a real discussion. |

I assume you will all apoligise once I have satisfied that I am who i say I am. I just want to learn and contribute to the forum so please dont try to start me on a bad note ok. I am telling the truth.
I do not think i am a chart topping artist or in fact that i even know what i am doing yet. I think I got lucky once with an old electro project! and never got paid :( |

| hey man relax... don't feel unwelcomed, i still stand by my opinion of sending an e-mail requesting a statement... also check at which dates they are supposed to pay up, its usually every quarter or half a year, and maybe the song didn't raise that much money to pay you... i don't know its hard to tell... |

People here can be a little harsh sometimes, but once you get to know some, there really cute boys ;)
But anyway, did you register your song with BMI or something like that (don't know where you're from)? They should handle your royalty statements and you will probably be payed most by them rather than your label. |

You're right. My post was unproductive and the cap to a ty day. My bad. If you've topped ALL download sites, you have. None of my biz anyway.
The things you may be thinking about regarding the money are, first, how the sales on the remix impact you. I saw that the top seller for that label was indeed "Party Time" - but someone else's remix. Not sure how that affects you, but something to consider. Also, the agreement works both ways. If you have an agreement, it works as much in your favor as it does in theirs. If they claim there wasn't an agreement at all, then they aren't allowed to sell your production and performance material. So, at this point it'd be in their interest to have some agreement - and depending on the language in the email, it can be binding, but it depends on what it says, how it says it, etc. Although I'm sure you'd agree that wouldn't be the preferred route on future "agreements." |

You need to understand that we get bogus posts here all the time. Posts meant to string us along, or just start a flame war. Basically designed to make us waste our time, while the pimply faced troll giggles at all the replies. Your post had all the earmarks of a trolling post. So our reaction is completely called for. Surely you can understand that. You shouldn't take it personally that you weren't believed. Next time, give more details (links, label names, ect), and you will be taken more seriously. If a label doesn't pay out, I'd sure like to know what one it is so I can avoid.
Welcome to the production forum.
PS: You say the track topped the charts of the label it was released on. That's no indication of how many copies were sold. Could of been 2 for all your know. When you say it "topped" all the download sites, do you mean for the particular label, or in general? Again, you could of sold 2 and still topped the charts for your particular label. You need to get a sales report, bottom line. |
