PRS for Music has announced that British music abroad is so popular that revenue earned from its use has doubled since 2002. During 2011, UK songwriters and composers earned £187.7m globally, up 10.6% on 2010 (£169.6m). The organisation represents 90,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers, collecting royalties from 150 territories around the world. Growth of £100m in international royalties since 2002 is attributed to both the widespread consumption of British music and improved licensing of its use and efficiency of distribution around the world.
