Gee you might want to tell ASCAP and BMI and most of the record
companies that. "ASCAP protects the rights of its members by licensing
and distributing royalties for the non-dramatic public performances of
their copyrighted works. "
This URL talks about Recording artist royalties, that apparently don't
really exist.

BMI seems to similarly disagree with your outlook. "If you are a
composer or musician, Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) is here to see that
your royalties are paid."
These are not bonuses but payment for use of songs that were
written, in much the same way residuals are payments when the show airs
or the movie is released.
