History
Mü-Yap was founded in 2000 with Law 5846 of the Turkish constitution. In 2010, Mü-Yap took a role in the closure of
Fizy, a popular online streaming service, due to copyright claims.
In late 2012, after the iTunes digital music store was opened, many producers pressured Mü-Yap for increased digital rights, in favor of Apple iTunes. This move was considered to be the end of Mü-Yap's monopoly on digital music. In the 2013 general Mü-Yap meeting, Mü-Yap announced their withdrawal from the digital market.
Records certification
Mü-Yap has given certifications to published works as per record sales every year since 2003, as the "Mü-Yap Music Awards". The awards given are Diamond, Platinum and Gold. Additionally, the most downloaded 10 songs of the year are awarded Digital Awards. Additionally, there is a special award named after Turkish producer
Yaşar Kekeva.
