Dear American Songspacers,
You’ve been asking for it, so here it is! THE PITCH REPORT is American Songspace’s comprehensive monthly status report – listing and linking the writers and songs that are rising to the top of the Major Label Artist Placement Project heap. Below is the inaugural February Pitch Report! This will give you a good idea of the quality standard for the songs that are being selected, and you’ll enjoy finding out if your song made the cut for the projects that you submitted to. The song order isn’t in any specific order, and wasn’t submitted to the Placement Partner with any preference over one another. You can check out Writer Profiles AND Song Profiles through the links below. The American Songspace blog will be the place to go for each edition of THE PITCH REPORT, so be sure check back every few weeks. In this space we’ll also update when a song is placed on Hold, is intended to be Cut, Cut, or any other major developments with Selected Songs. Be sure to read “More About the Song Placement Process” below, which might answer some logistical questions that you may still have.
Sincerely,
A&R Dept.

MORE ABOUT THE SONG PLACEMENT PROCESS
American Songspace’s Song Placement opportunity listings are centered around two components: 1) Our Personal Relationships within the music industry and 2) Our proprietary Digital Song-Pitching Platform. The A&R Department at American Songspace has cultivated, and continues to do so, working partnerships with key music users/buyers—agents of song placement such as Record Label A&R Executives, Producers, Managers and Music Supervisors for film, television and advertising projects, etc. These listings/posts are created by the song Placement Partners (PP) themselves, activated by American Songspace, and promoted to our Member Community. When members’ songs are submitted for a project, they are sent to our Song In-Box, thoroughly SCREENED by American Songspace A&R, and only the most appropriate/qualified songs are “Selected” for the PP’s listening schedule. The PP then logs in to his/her digital Industry Account to listen to each and every song Selected by American Songspace A&R. If the PP expresses interest in a song and requests a copy, we immediately download and send them an mp3 of the song. We stay abreast of any status movement on songs that are placed on Hold, and notify members of any such activity. We also the encourage the PP to reach out directly to the songwriter when possible. Additionally, all those who are Not Selected and Selected will receive an e-mail notification within 1-week of the project closings. The submission price ($3.99) is a song processing/screening fee, the service is non-exclusive, and members retain all rights and ownership of their songs.
