THE SHORT VERSION
- CISAC's Global Collections Report records 2025 music royalties up 11.9%, to 14.06 billion euros in Music Week's account and nearly 14.6 billion euros in Billboard's.CISAC 的《全球版税报告》显示2025年音乐版税增长11.9%，Music Week 给出的金额是140.6亿欧元，Billboard 给出的接近146亿欧元。
- Billboard reports that 6.6 percentage points of the rise came from adding the Mechanical Licensing Collective for the first time, against about 5.3 points of organic growth.Billboard 报道，增幅中有6.6个百分点来自首次纳入 Mechanical Licensing Collective，自然增长约为5.3个百分点。
- Both outlets carry CISAC's warning that artificial intelligence is the largest test for creators' rights, alongside digital's 45.6% share of the music total.两家都刊出 CISAC 的警告：人工智能是创作者权利面临的最大考验；同期数字渠道占音乐版税总额的45.6%。
A record year, two totals创纪录的一年，两个总额
CISAC's latest Global Collections Report records another year of growth for music royalties. Billboard puts global music publishing collections at nearly 14.6 billion euros, or $15.89 billion, in 2025, up 11.9% from 12.6 billion euros the year before. Music Week reports the same 11.9% rise to a slightly different figure, 14.06 billion euros, for royalties collected for music creators. Both outlets work from the same report and the same release, which is why the percentage agrees while the total does not.CISAC 最新的《全球版税报告》记录了音乐版税的又一个增长年。Billboard 给出的数字是，2025年全球音乐出版收入接近146亿欧元，合158.9亿美元，比上年126亿欧元增长11.9%。Music Week 报道的增幅同样是11.9%，但金额是140.6亿欧元，口径为音乐创作者收到的版税。两家用的是同一份报告、同一个发布时间，因此百分比一致，总额不一致。
The gap is a matter of what each outlet counts. Billboard frames the number as publishing collections and converts it at a stated rate. Music Week frames it as royalties collected for music creators and stops at the euro figure. Neither outlet explains the difference, and neither treats the other's total as an error. The percent is the safer number to carry away. The headline euro total depends on which line of the report is being quoted.差额来自各自统计的口径。Billboard 把它表述为出版收入并按给定汇率折算，Music Week 则表述为音乐创作者收到的版税，只给到欧元数字。两家都没有解释这个差异，也都没有把对方的总额当成错误。对读者来说，百分比是更稳妥的数字；头条上的欧元总额取决于引用的是报告里的哪一行。
How much of it was organic其中有多少是自然增长
Billboard does the decomposition that Music Week leaves out. More than half of the increase, 6.6 percentage points, came from the first inclusion of revenue from the Mechanical Licensing Collective, the United States collection agency, while only about 5.3 percentage points came from organic growth.Billboard 做了 Music Week 没有做的拆解。增幅中超过一半、即6.6个百分点，来自首次纳入美国版权收款机构 Mechanical Licensing Collective 的收入；来自自然增长的只有约5.3个百分点。
That split changes what the growth rate means. Billboard reports that the 5.3% organic growth in publishing outpaced the 4.8% increase for 2025 counted by IFPI on the record label side. A headline rise near 12% would put publishing well ahead of records. The organic comparison puts it modestly ahead, and neither outlet carries a table that reconciles its category totals with the headline. Music Week notes the one-off boost in a single sentence and moves on.这个拆分改变了增长率的含义。Billboard 报道，出版端5.3%的自然增长，高于 IFPI 统计的2025年唱片端4.8%的增幅。接近12%的整体增幅会让出版远远跑在唱片前面，而按自然增长比较，领先幅度只是温和的，两家也都没有给出能把分类数字与头条总额对上的表格。Music Week 用一句话提到这次一次性提振，随后转向别的数字。
Live overtakes television and radio现场演出反超电视与广播
Live and background music became the second-largest source of music royalties, and it did so by passing television and radio. Music Week reports a 7.3% rise to 3.62 billion euros and calls the overtake a first. Billboard gives 7.2%, a total of 3.624 billion euros and a 25.8% share, and describes the same reordering. Both outlets put the previous year's figure at 3.38 billion euros.现场演出与背景音乐成为音乐版税的第二大来源，而且是靠反超电视与广播做到的。Music Week 报道增幅7.3%、总额36.2亿欧元，并称这是首次反超。Billboard 给出7.2%、总额36.24亿欧元、占比25.8%，描述的是同一轮排序变化。两家都把上一年的数字列为33.8亿欧元。
Television and radio fell. Music Week has a 3.0% decline to 3.32 billion euros; Billboard has 3.1% to 3.315 billion euros, and its 23.6% share. Billboard also lists the smaller lines: CDs and video at 326 million euros, down 8.9%; private copying at 252 million euros, down 6.7%; sync at 58 million euros; and all other licensing at 70 million euros, down 24.1%. Music Week carries none of those four.电视与广播则出现下滑。Music Week 给出下降3.0%、总额33.2亿欧元；Billboard 给出下降3.1%、33.15亿欧元，占比23.6%。Billboard 还列出更小的科目：CD 与视频3.26亿欧元，下降8.9%；私人复制2.52亿欧元，下降6.7%；同步授权5800万欧元；其他授权7000万欧元，下降24.1%。这四项 Music Week 一项都没写。
The largest test, in CISAC's wordsCISAC 所说的最大考验
The report lands in CISAC's centenary year, after the General Assembly adopted The Paris Commitment on AI in June. Music Week describes the declaration as a call on governments, technology companies and cultural industries to ensure human creativity remains recognised, protected and fairly remunerated. Billboard reports that CISAC and its member societies are contributing to consultations, policy debates and legislative processes so that creators' rights stay at the centre of AI policy.报告发布在 CISAC 的百年之年，此前6月的会员大会通过了关于人工智能的《巴黎承诺》。Music Week 把这份宣言描述为呼吁各国政府、科技公司与文化产业确保人类创造力继续被承认、被保护并获得公平报酬。Billboard 报道，CISAC 及其会员协会正在参与世界各地的咨询、政策辩论与立法进程，以让创作者权利留在人工智能政策制定的中心。
CISAC director general Gadi Oron writes in the report's foreword that the confederation now faces its largest test with artificial intelligence, new business models and changing patterns of consumption. Billboard also carries his warning that the issue is no longer whether AI will transform the industry, but whether the systems protecting creators' rights are evolving quickly enough to keep pace. Music Week quotes him saying that past growth cannot be taken for granted. Neither outlet prints the full foreword, and neither says whether CISAC has asked for a specific change in law.CISAC 总干事 Gadi Oron 在报告前言中写道，这个联合会现在面对人工智能、新商业模式与消费模式变化带来的最大考验。Billboard 还引用他的警告：问题已经不再是人工智能会不会改变这个行业，而是保护创作者权利的制度是否进化得足够快。Music Week 则引用他提醒说，过去的增长不能被视为理所当然。两家都没有刊出完整前言，也都没有说明 CISAC 是否提出了具体的法律修改诉求。
What each report counts两份报道各自的统计范围
The two outlets do not agree on the size of the confederation. Music Week reports that membership for 2025 comprised 228 authors' societies in 111 countries and territories, representing creators in music, audiovisual, visual arts, literature and drama. Billboard states that CISAC represents 225 collective management organisations located in 110 countries and territories. Neither number is dated to a different year in either report, so the discrepancy stands unresolved. Both pieces date the report to 2026, and neither dates its membership count to a particular year.两家在联合会规模上并不一致。Music Week 报道，2025年的会员包括111个国家和地区的228家作者协会，代表音乐、视听、视觉艺术、文学与戏剧领域的创作者。Billboard 则称 CISAC 代表分布在110个国家和地区的225家集体管理组织。两家都没有把这些数字归到不同年份，因此这一差异在报道中悬而未决。两篇都把报告的发布年份写作2026年，也都没有把会员数字归到某一年。
Billboard also counts the non-music side, putting total revenue across literature, drama, visual arts and audiovisual at 15.5 billion euros, up 11.3% from 13.92 billion the year before. It gives the regional split, with Western Europe at 45.2%, North America at 31.6% and Asia-Pacific at 13.3%, and the five largest countries led by the United States at 4.073 billion euros.
