Reporting and availability

There are three types of reports available in Sales and Trends:

• Apple Music Reports include anonymized data about listener activity, demographics, adds and pre-adds to Library, and Editorial Playlist inclusion.
• Shazam Reports contain aggregated data, including date, artist, title, city, and storefront.
• Sales Reports provide aggregated and transaction-level activity for sales, pre-orders, demographics, and other anonymized data.

Availability

Streams and sales information is available in the Streams dashboard and Reports page in Sales and Trends at the approximate times:

• Daily reports are available the following day.
• Weekly reports are available on Mondays.
• Monthly reports are available five days after the end of the month.
• Yearly reports are available six days after the end of the year.

If a report covers multiple time zones, availability will be based on the latest time zone covered by that report.

Reports are available for a year after being delivered. Reports delivered beyond a year will be unavailable for download with the exception of yearly reports, which are saved indefinitely.

• A day starts at 12:00:00 a.m. and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. in the latest time zone for a territory.
• A week starts on Monday at 12:00:00 a.m. and ends on Sunday at 11:59:59 p.m. in the latest time zone for a territory.

Time zones

Each reporting country or region is grouped into a single reporting time zone based on location and specific to the territories covered by each agreement. These territories are grouped into the following time zones:

• United States, Canada, Latin America: Pacific Standard Time (PST)/Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)
• Europe, Middle East, Africa: Central Europe Time (CET)
• Japan, Asia Pacific: Japan Standard Time (JST)
• Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands: Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)

If an agreement covers more than one territory, then reports will use the time zone with the latest time. Reports for worldwide agreements use PST/PDT.
