Please accept my apologies about the late reply. Current US legislation does not recognise the right of performers to receive equitable remuneration for the exploitation of their music through airplay and broadcasting. This means that the USA is a non-qualifying territory and any recordings which are recorded in the country do not qualify for PPL payment. The only way for performers to be paid for radio airplay and broadcasting royalties for tracks which were recorded in the US is if they were a citizen of a qualifying territory or residing in a qualifying territory at the time of the recording.
I would like to instil some hope if I may in informing you that currently the US legislation is being reviewed and hopefully it will be changed to allow performers equitable remuneration for radio airplay and broadcasting. It is unlikely however that even if this was to change performers would be back paid any royalties.
Please let me know if you require any further assistance.
Kind Regards,
