Great question! Typically, the cost of licensing a hit song is expensive. Clearing a hit song involves gaining approval and a quote from the Master and Publishing owners. If approval to use the song is granted by all of the rights owners then the price is determined based on the popularity and reach of the song. Often, when a client decides to license a famous song they also want that license to be exclusive. This is another driving factor informing the quote. The typical license fees for a famous song land within the range of $100,000 USD - $350,000 USD per side. Said another way, the all-in fees are between $200,000 - $700,000 USD.
