What does a BMI Award Signify?
Each year, BMI presents the songwriters, composers, and music publishers of the year's most performed songs in different genres of music with awards.
What does the BMI Repertoire tell us?
The BMI Repertoire is a BMI song title database, which means that you will only find songs licensed by BMI. In some cases, songwriters may have started their careers with another performing rights organization and affiliated with BMI sometime later, or may have affilated with BMI at the start, and then with another organization sometime later. In either case, the songwriter's songs may or may not have followed the songwriter.
What does "Million Air Status" mean?
Only about 1,500 titles in the BMI repertoire of approximately 4.5 million works have achieved "Million-Air Status", or more than 1 million United States radio and television performances. One million performances is the equivalent of approximately 50,000 broadcast hours, or more than 5.7 years of continuous airplay!
To rightfully award a song with this "Million-Air Status" designation, BMI tallies up the number of times that a song was heard in public taking into account T.V., radio, juke boxes, bars, restaurants, etc.
