“The more popular the song, the more the owner can demand in royalties”
Sorry, the owner cannot demand more in royalties, the owner is due an increased total. The owner doesn’t demand anything, Agencies such as ASCAP and BMI bill and collect performance royalties.
BUT>>>>he can negotiate licensing fees for use in commercials and movies…a popular song will likely bring a higher license fee than a lesser known song, unless the artist’s name has more value than the song.
