Stations that played more than the statutory maximum of Van Halen songs online

Will they face consequences from the Copyright Office or SoundExchange?

That restriction does not apply to terrestrial radio stations.

Thanks for the clarification

If SiriusXM wants to create a temporary all-Van Halen channel, or even have a Van Halen day on one of its regular rock channels, it will have to either get permission from the label to do so or work with the label to create a tribute channel. This is usually no problem, as the labels see the death of a star as an opportunity to sell more music from the individual's (or his band's) catalog.

UPDATE: Let the cash registers ring! SXM will be launching its Van Halen Tribute Channel at 9 p.m. EDT tonight, taking over Deep Tracks (Ch. 27). It's going to contain lots of music plus recorded interviews and remembrances, which makes me wonder if SXM might have made a deal a while back, knowing that Eddie didn't have long to live, and has plenty of material in the can to run over the next few days. A morbid thought, but if news services can pre-write obituaries of notables, what can't a subscription radio service and a record company do business concerning a star's tribute channel before the star dies?

I would think a station ir group (particularly an iHeart, should have playlists and material ready to go fo any of its artists. I remember stations having to scramble when Michael Jackson died.

Same with Whitney Houston, she died on a Saturday night and I recall hearing of some station in NYC who played one of her songs and the voicetracked jock still spoke of her as if she was still living, despite the news being several hours old at that point and tributes were pouring out from everywhere.
