$500 million gets unpaid to musicians every year - Abba's Björn Ulvaeus tries to fix it

Abba star Björn Ulvaeus has launched the Credits Due campaign, which aims to ensure all songwriters and musicians are correctly identified when a song is recorded, BBC reports. At present, missing and incomplete data means that about £500m is unallocated or misallocated globally - every year. The scheme will also ensure fans see the correct credits for songs - from the writers and producers to the session musicians and engineers - and every person who is involved in the creation of a song will be "clickable in the digital liner notes", allowing listeners to look up every other record they have worked on. BMG has pledged its support for Credits Due, as the first international music company to commit to the campaign, MBW reports.
