Apple is introducing a new feature to its Apple Music for Artists platform this week. Artists can now see “when and where” their music is being played on radio stations around the world.
In a post on the iTunes Connect website, Apple explained:
“In your label view of Apple Music for Artists, you can now see when and where your artists’ music is being played on over 40,000 radio stations from more than 200 countries and regions. Review our ‘Understand your analytics’ article for more information on how to check your radio spins across Apple Music for Artists.”
Apple also highlights a “premium radio spins experience” through its Apple Music Partner Program. This offers “deeper, more expanded radio insights,” including spin data across countries by market, daypart, station, artist, and song. Artists can also create “custom airplay reports.”
Learn more on the iTunes Connect Resources and Help website. This launch of more in-depth data for artists and labels follows Apple Music’s addition of Shazam-powered playlists, which show the most played songs on radio worldwide.
