Sync.Land passes 200 artists, and each one can now see how their music is doing

Sync.Land is our marketplace where independent artists license music directly to people who make video, games, podcasts and streams. It opened to the public in June 2026, and for most of the summer it grew slowly: 17 artists at the end of June, 18 in July, 23 in August.

Then it took off. In September, 76 artists joined. The 100th arrived on October 1. On October 28, the 200th artist listed their music.

The catalog grew with them

There were 400 songs available to license at the end of August. By the end of September there were 683, and the catalog passed 1,000 songs in October.

Where the artists are

We did not plan for an international catalog this early, but that is what arrived. The United States has the most artists. After that come the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Canada, Italy, Brazil and Australia, with more countries behind them.

That is good news for anyone licensing music. A film, a game or a channel can find a sound here that a stock library built in one country would not have.

How they found us

Many new artists arrive from Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistants. A musician asks an assistant where they can license their music, and the assistant points them to Sync.Land. This fall, assistants such as ChatGPT have sent us more visitors than Google search.

New: artists can see how their music is doing

Until late October, an artist on Sync.Land could see one number about their music: how many times it had been licensed. The site was already recording every play, page view and license. Artists just had no way to see it.

Now they do. The Insights panel went live on October 25 and sits on the artist page in each account. It shows:

• Activity. Plays, listeners, views of your song pages and your profile, how often a track was added to a cart, licenses, and plays through the Sync.Land dock for live streamers.
• Change over time. Pick 7, 30 or 90 days. Each number is compared with the period before it, and a chart shows plays per day.
• Where listeners came from. How the people who played your music found Sync.Land.
• Each song. A table with the numbers for every track.
• Your latest licenses. What the person licensing the track said they would use it for, and the terms: for a free license, the end date, the view limit and the credit line; for a paid one, your share.

An email for every license

Artists now get an email each time one of their tracks is licensed. That includes free licenses, which used to happen without the artist hearing about it. The email says what the track will be used for.

What is left out

The panel leaves out your own plays and visits, so the numbers show other people's interest. It also leaves out test licenses from our own accounts. The figures are totals only. The panel does not show who an individual listener is.

If you make music

Listing your music is free, and you keep 70% of every paid license. Create an account at sync.land and upload a track. If you already have music there, sign in and open your artist page to see the panel.

Thank you to every artist who has trusted us with their music so far.
