Well, here in Australia, at least, Radio stations pay a yearly "blanket" fee
for the rights to play music.
They don't pay per performance.
In my days in radio, (early 70's), we had to log all tracks played, (well
before computer anything), and a monthly sample was averaged out over the
year, and that's what we paid.
Don't think it's like that any more, I think it's just a one off fee...
