Apple Music unveiled today a new Music Partner Program targeted at record labels and distributers to spot trends in the music industry including streaming data and radio airplay.
Subscribers to the Music Partner Program will gain access to over 4500 charts ranking as many as 1500 songs over 60 genres and 270 regions. The tool also is using its Shazam technology to monitor airplay on over 40,000 broadcast and streaming radio stations globally giving subscribers access to real-time listener counts for all the songs in their catalogs and tools to measure how their marketing campaigns are working such as how many listeners are discovering an artist in real-time.
Some of the charts are being made available to the public as charts on Shazam and playlists on Apple Music including a Global Top 200 and breakdowns for sixteen formats/genres. Those charts will be updated daily and mix both new music and golds.
