The Music Network launches new cross-platform music chart and hit predictor
Independent publisher The Music Network has launched a new chart it says is aimed at amongst other things to ‘focus marketing’, looking at the most played and bought artists and singles each week.
The new Australian Singles Report is the first in Australia to combine radio and streaming plays, digital sales and video plays, while the service also analyses predictive data from streaming services like Spotify, Pandora and Shazam to predict future hits.
Publisher Mark Dalgleish said: “Charts data is useful for identifying trends and making decisions on when and where to release or play a single, book a tour, or focus marketing.
“The problem is that there is so much data now available that music professionals are struggling to stay on top of all these charts. We’ll be cutting through the noise and providing some succinct analysis and a snapshot of all the major Top 10 charts in one place.”
TMN will release 40 different charts in addition to the comprehensive chart every week aimed at giving a breakdown of consumption trends, as well as predictive charts predicting which tunes will be big next.
Topping the inaugural chart is 2012 X Factor UK winner James Arthur with his track Say You Won’t Let Go.
