Main payment 2024
We have now allocated NOK 103.2 million for music played on the radio and in shops, cafés, gyms and the like in 2023. This is distributed with NOK 50.5 million to performers and NOK 52.7 million to record companies and self-producers.
The following three areas are included in the main payment for the use of music in 2023:
- Broadcasting
- NRK - all channels
- P4 - all channels
- Radio Norge - all channels
So far, we have processed 96.8 percent of the music used on these channels in 2023. This means 68,619 recordings with a total playing time of 130,006 hours.
Gramo money for local radio will be paid out in June.
- Shops, cafés, fitness centers and similar
A proportion of these businesses play radio for their customers and guests. This money is distributed according to radio reports. The rest of the Gramo money for this area will come when we have received reports for businesses that use streaming services as a music source.

More correct distribution to rights holders
Gramo has established a new and more precise way to distribute royalties from the use of recorded music in public places (shops, cafes, restaurants, gyms, etc.).
