Top playlist plays

Tap on a playlist your artist’s music has been featured in to see total plays for your artist’s songs in the playlist, plays by song, and a song’s playlist position.

Top songs

Song-level details are viewed by tapping on one of your artist’s most-played songs. You can view details such as Plays, Average Daily Listeners, Shazam Count, Song Purchases, Insights, Plays by country or region, or city, and plays from Playlists.

Top Shazam tags

Shazam tags are recorded anytime your artist’s song is recognized by the Shazam app or one of the partner apps that use Shazam technology. Tap on one of your songs with the most Shazam tags to see data about that song’s performance in Apple Music and the iTunes Store.

Top Radio Spins

Apple Music for Artists now tracks radio plays across over 40,000 radio stations around the world. This data feature is fully integrated throughout the Artists app, highlighted both on your artist’s overview page and within the song detail page. Select a song to open up your song detail page and view radio spins broken out by top countries/regions and cities.

Tap a popular country or region to see how your artist’s music is performing in that region. You can view the cities where your artist’s music is most played, country- or region-specific Insights, Top Songs, and Top Cities.
