The legendary KISS frontman Gene Simmons just made waves by calling on Congress to push through legislation that would force radio stations to pay artists what they're actually owed. Right now, terrestrial radio in the U.S. pays zilch to performers when their tracks get airplay—only songwriters see a dime. Simmons isn't backing down, arguing that creators deserve fair compensation for their work being broadcast to millions. It's a battle that's been brewing for decades, but with streaming reshaping the entire music economy, the pressure's mounting. Could this finally be the moment when performers get their cut? The industry's watching closely.
