How many units should I order?

Calculating the Number of Units for Your License

Mechanical licenses are issued at the song level. Mechanical royalties are paid, per the license, on the total number of units manufactured, regardless of whether the song was sold as a single or as part of an album.

Please consider both album sales and single sales when estimating the number of units you plan to sell. A mechanical license obtained via Songfile is limited to a specific number of units. Any manufacture above the number of units in the license will require an additional license for those additional units.
