John Lennon’s estate appoints PPL to manage neighboring rights collections for Lennon’s solo music and the estate’s interests in Yoko Ono and The Beatles.
UK-based collective management organization PPL has been appointed to collect neighboring rights for John Lennon, as well as his estate’s interest in Yoko Ono and The Beatles. The deal will see PPL collect broadcast and public performance royalties worldwide on sound recordings in which Lennon or Ono are listed as performers in markets where such rights exist.
John Lennon released 11 solo albums, including John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band with Yoko Ono. He achieved 25 #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart as a performer, songwriter, or co-writer, both as a member of The Beatles and as a solo artist. Three of his solo albums also landed at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Yoko Ono has landed 13 #1 singles on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart, as well as releasing 14 studio albums.
“PPL has shown they are the leaders in advocating for neighboring rights globally,” said the estate in a statement. “We have the utmost respect for the team and look forward to working with them.”
“It is an honor to be appointed by the John Lennon Estate for neighboring rights collections,” said Peter Leathem, CEO of PPL. “Our team works hard to ensure no stone is left unturned in the collection of neighboring rights royalties around the world. It is a privilege to advocate for and collect public performance and broadcast rights globally for such a revered catalog of recorded music.”
PPL is a global leader in royalty collections, with 111 agreements in place with other collective management organizations (CMOs) around the world. The organization is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year.
