Google now shows song lyrics within search, thanks to LyricFind
If
you annoy family members with your awful carpool karaoke sessions, blurting
aloud the wrong words to Taylor’s hit new song, Google can now help.
Partnering
with LyricFind, Google will now display lyrics directly in search results,
negating the need to visit countless lyrics site.
Although
that does sounds pretty awful for those countless lyrics sites, it is great for
artists.
“I
can’t get into the rates, but we expect it to be millions of dollars generated
for publishers and songwriters as a result of this. It’s all based on
usage. Royalties are paid based on the number of times a lyric is viewed,”
LyricFind CEO Darryl Ballantyne told Billboard.
It’s
also a big advantage for Google, as users will spend more time on each related
search page, while for Canadian company LyricFind, it’ll undoubtedly benefit
from the publicity and placements of the lyrics.
The
fruits of the partnership is only available in the US right now, but there are
plans to extend it to international Google search zones as well.
