Within the performer share for PPL, how is that share distributed among featured vs non-featured artists?

• A. 50% to featured artists, 50% to non-featured.
• B. 40% to featured artists, 60% to non-featured.
• C. 75% to featured artists, 25% to non-featured.
• D. 65% to featured artists and 35% to non-featured.

Answer: (D)

The performer share is divided between the credited, featured performers and the non-featured contributors. The featured artists—the main talents credited on the track—receive the larger portion, 65%. The remaining 35% goes to non-featured performers, such as session musicians and backing vocalists who contributed but aren’t listed as features. If there are multiple featured artists, the 65% is shared among them according to their credits or agreement; similarly, the 35% for non-featured is divided among those non-featured contributors per contract or credit. This structure emphasizes the primary artistic contribution of the featured performers while still compensating the supporting players.
