Just wondering if anyone else hear is missing all their cue sheet totals in ascap member services.
August 24, 2016 at 6:24 am #25598AdviceGuestYup… Their systems must be having a problem. I’ve seen this from time to time. No worries, nothing is lost.
It could be that it crashed counting my royalties from Toddlers and Tiaras placements. The system chokes on numbers below .0000000000000000001 😉
August 25, 2016 at 2:59 am #25609JayGuest3 days now for me..happens from time to time but it’s never been this long..
August 25, 2016 at 3:36 am #25610AndreiParticipantFor everyone…ASCAP cuesheets down, yes.
August 25, 2016 at 4:57 am #25611AdviceGuestWe are SERIOUSLY a bunch of junkies!!!!! 😛
August 25, 2016 at 7:05 am #25614gigdudeParticipantYes we are! I check mine every day.
August 25, 2016 at 9:09 am #25615Art MunsonKeymasterSame here and it’s been well over a week since mine disappeared. Glad to see others posting about it here.
How concerned should we be that the only way to validate payment is gone? :>O
August 25, 2016 at 12:44 pm #25619GregGuestBreathe easy folks. The cues are back 🙂
August 25, 2016 at 2:13 pm #25622JayGuestmine are back..
August 25, 2016 at 3:09 pm #25623BlindParticipantYeah, they are back up. Some of the numbers/counts are wrong, but they are there at least and I’m sure they will get that sorted out too.

You’re not SERIOUSLY concerned that because their site was down for a few days, your payments are in jeopardy???
August 26, 2016 at 11:12 am #25628Art MunsonKeymaster@Advice I was half kidding…so just lower case seriously!
August 26, 2016 at 12:13 pm #25629MichaelLParticipant“Cue sheet totals” are only half of the battle. The only thing that a cue sheet does is tell your PRO that a given amount of your music was used in a certain program. It does not provide performance data.
It’s up to ASCAP to detect the number of actual performances of that program and properly credit you for all of those performances, something on which they regularly fall short.
Having composed a number of TV theme songs, I was able to track ASCAP’s performance with respect to the same tracks, same shows, and same stations for more than a decade. Their survey accuracy in detecting performances was about 60 to 70%.

HA! Only HALF kidding… (Sorry for the upper case!). I just wanted to make sure that nobody thought there was any possible relationship between ASCAPs on line cue sheets having a tech hiccup and our ability to get paid. 😀
BTW, seeing cue sheets on line is fairly recent history, probably starting 7-8 years ago. For decades, there was (obviously) no such thing.
As Michael said, the bigger issue with PROs is what actually gets picked up in their surveys.
