Record labels sign deal to boost musicians' pay
Songwriters and session musicians will receive better rates of pay, under a landmark deal agreed by the music industry and the the first time, songwriters will get daily payments of £75, plus travel and food expenses, any time they attend a session or songwriting camp. Previously, they were expected to cover their own fees, and might only get paid when a song was situation was highlighted by Raye at the 2023 Ivor Novello Awards, where she told record label bosses it was "an insult" that songwriters were expected to "work for free". The new deal also gives session musicians a pay increase of up to 40% when they attend recording sessions. Pop musicians will see their standard fee rise from £130 to £182. Orchestral musicians will receive a smaller 15% increase - rising from £92.96 to £106.90 for a principal violinist, for changes were announced by the government's Creator Remuneration Working Group (CRWG), which was established in 2024 to help address the shortfall in musicians' income in the streaming group is led by creative industries minister Sir Chris Bryant, who said he was "sick and tired of musicians having to live with paltry amounts of money" for producing songs that "everybody loves dancing to around their kitchen".Addressing the paltry royalties that many artists receive from streaming services, Sir Chris added: "I can't transform the worldwide streaming situation, but what I can do is make sure that we in the UK have the best deal for artists possible." The new framework has been agreed by all three major record labels, with support from the Musicians Union, the Ivors Academy for songwriters, the Association of Independent Music and the Council of Music also allows musicians who signed a recording contract before the year 2000, before the advent of streaming, to renegotiate their contract and receive higher rates of will also have any debts to their record label cancelled, with additional support to get "missing" songs added to streaming platforms. Overall, the changes will deliver "tens of millions of pounds" to musicians by 2030, Sir Chris the Musicians Union and the Council of Music Makers said they were "disappointed" that the package did not do more to tackle "the fundamental problems with music streaming economics".They are seeking a minimum royalty rate for all artists, and a change to copyright law that would allow artists and songwriters to reclaim the rights to their songs after a set period of time. Of the new changes, the new pay deal for songwriters is possibly the most streaming, songwriters would get paid any time a CD or vinyl record was sold. Today, they get a fraction of the £0.003 royalty that's generated every time a song is played on streaming services.A 2024 report by consulting firm Midia Research suggested that only 10% of working songwriters earned more than $30,000 (£22,000) per year. More than half earned less than $1,000 (£741), with most citing the "lack of meaningful streaming income" as their primary cause was taken up by people like Abba's Björn Ulvaeus, who said the industry was "cheating songwriters" with a payment system that was "dysfunctional at best". 'Small step in a marathon' "It's been a pretty dire existence up to this point," says Ines Dunn, who has written for artists including Mimi Webb, Maisie Peters and Holly Humberstone."To even attend a session, you have to pay for your trains, you have to pay for your lunches. So everyone, before they even reach the studio, is already out of pocket."She describes the new payments as "a small step in a marathon" ."I think it's important to state this doesn't solve problems in the long term," she adds. "This isn't the extent of what songwriters deserve, but it is a really vital step in ensuring people can just show up and do their job."There's so many writers who are Uber drivers or have part-time jobs just to stay afloat. There are songwriters who can't afford childcare - and these [payments] can help with that, even if that's all they spend it on."I just want there to be a day where songwriters can be songwriters, and that's enough." The payments help to address a "huge power imbalance" in the music industry, adds Simon Barber, associate professor of songwriting at Birmingham City University and co-host of the Sodajerker On Songwriting podcast."If you think about the fact that songwriters are essentially the fount of new material for these massive corporations, to ask for expenses like travel and meals to be covered, is a very basic requirement that you would expect most industries to participate in. "So I think it's a really positive step forward. And I think it probably encourages songwriters from more diverse backgrounds, who don't necessarily have the means to work for free, to participate more."The BBC understands that two of the three major labels - Warner Music and Universal - have agreed to introduce the "per diem" payments for writers. Crucially, the money will not be paid by the artist hosting the session, but by the labels third major, Sony Music, has established a £100,000 fund, managed by The Ivors Academy, to cover per diems. The fund will also provide "broader support" to writers "to help increase access and opportunities across the music industry". More changes to come The changes come after MPs called for a "complete reset" of the streaming market to make sure artists got a "fair share" of the streaming market - which now generates more than £1 billion annually for the UK music Chris told the BBC that the new framework would be reviewed after 12 months. "If we find, in a year's time, that this hasn't really delivered an improvement to artists' and musicians' remuneration, then we always have the option of of going to legislate."The Creator Remuneration Working Group will continue to push for further changes - with a meeting in September to look at the issue of streaming pay for session musicians, who play on records by artists like Harry Styles, Adele and Lewis Capaldi, receive royalties when those songs are played on radio and TV. However, there are no equivalent royalties for digital streaming or on-demand radio services.

Former The Chase contestant reveals why winners are told not to share the prize fund
The Chase has been on air via ITV since 2009 - and while winning the show is a rare event, one former contestant has revealed secret advice he was given about the prize money A former contestant from The Chase has revealed details of what happens if a team win the show - and the advice ITV gives regarding eliminated teammates and the prize fund. Viewers of the ITV show will be well aware that success is rare on the general knowledge quiz show. A group of four team together to test their knowledge against one of the genius Chasers - which includes Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Jenny Ryan, Darragh Ennis and Paul Sinha. The brain boxes play under the respective code names The Beast, The Dark Destroyer, The Governess, The Vixen, The Menace and The Sinnerman. After the individual rounds, where the contestants try to get home without being caught, the team then take on the chaser in another round of general knowledge. If the team answer more questions correctly than the Chaser, they win the prize fund that has been amassed over the course of the show - but the money is divided between those that succeeded. If a teammate is eliminated before the final, the winning team members are seemingly advised not to share any of the money with team members who were caught during the chase rounds. A former contestant named Steven Sneade, 69, from Liverpool, revealed all to the Daily Mail. He said: "If you win you have to sign another contract as you're accepting money from them. They told us not to give money to the contestants who didn't win money just because you feel sorry for them. "They can't stop you, but I think they just don't want you to have that in mind. They said it could take three months, but I had it in a week." The Chase has been on the air since 2009 and has aired over 2,500 episodes so far. The long-running game show is hosted by Bradley Walsh, 65 - who also hosts a variety of other shows, including the BBC series Gladiators. While he has been helming the show for 16 years, the entertainer has revealed he has no plans to walk away from the show. In a recent interview, he explained he would quit if the series lost its audience. He said: "Until people say they've had enough and start switching off, I'll do it. We've had such an extraordinary time together. It's the best job in the world." He also reflected on filming the pilot episode, which was recorded back in 2008 with chasers Shaun Wallace and Mark Labbett involved. He recalled: "The audience was made up of ITV bosses and they found someone in the office to be a contestant." "Straight away I took the contestant's side. I saw the Chasers as these big, all-knowing, bully types, so I started taking the mickey out of them. When they got a question wrong, I really gave it to them, and everyone was laughing. That's when I knew we had something." The Chase has spawned a number of spin-offs - with celebrity specials and a version of the show were contestants can take on the whole line-up of chasers. International versions of the show have appeared in 20 other countries including Australia, the USA, Spain and Germany. Some members of the UK version of The Chase have appeared in international versions - with Mark and Shawn featuring in the line-up in Australia.

Anne Hegerty reveals pay details for ITV's The Chase with Mark Labbett
The Chase star Anne Hegerty, also known as The Governess, has opened up about how much the popular chasers are paid and why she doesn't want a new one to join the team. Anne Hegerty has shed light on the payment structure for the Chasers on the hit quiz show, explaining that there's no fixed salary involved and their earnings are not guaranteed. Speaking to the Mirror at the TV Choice Awards last week, Anne, who boasts an estimated net worth of £3.2 million, shared that she and her fellow Chasers aren't too keen on the idea of a new addition to their group in the near future. The reason being that they're paid per episode, which means a new Chaser would mean the existing budget would have to be spread even thinner. The I'm A Celebrity star went into detail: "We are paid per show, so we're not on a salary. It's not as if they're going to up the budget and add a new salary, a new chaser would just mean the same number of shows shared between more people - so less money for everyone. So, hope not!" Despite the risk of decreased income with the arrival of a new Chaser, Anne expressed no ill feelings towards Darragh Ennis, who joined the team in 2020, ten years after Anne first appeared. "You know, Darragh has been a very good new addition, he's very popular, and that's worthwhile," she said. Anne also opened up about her off-screen camaraderie with her fellow quizzing giants. Despite their competitive nature during the show, Anne confirmed that they get along well behind the scenes, reports Bristol Live. She added: "We know each other, and certainly on Beat the Chasers we tend to hang out a lot, because we're all there at the same time," revealing the friendly dynamics among the cast. Despite not earning a regular wage from her appearances on The Chase, the financial triumph of her company, Frosty Knickers Ltd, is evident, with reports in August 2023 revealing a hefty £807,000 sitting in the bank. Yet Anne is not one to frivolously spend her earnings. In a discussion about her expenditure habits last year, she quipped: "I'm half Scottish. We don't spend money and, being a fat person, I can only buy from certain places." She added humorously. "I like my money sitting in my bank and representing a bit of security. I don't see the point in sloshing money around. I'm not frugal, I'd actually say I'm mean." Before finding fame on television, Anne faced challenging times as a journalist, recounting how she was "getting more and more swamped by admin and losing more work". Nevertheless, this thrifty individual does indulge in some luxuries, opting for first class and business flights, and allowing herself the pleasures of 'Club Med' during her travels.
