How do I license a medley? Why are the individual songs in the medley licensed separately?

The musical works in a medley are equally valued by the music publishers who own them and each one is individually licensed at the same royalty rate as non-medley works. We treat each one as though they are separate and independent works on your product.

As such, you are required to indicate on the Application for Mechanical Licences form, that the work is used as part of a medley. When specifying the duration of the work, please indicate only the duration for that particular portion of the medley – and not the duration of the entire medley.
