We know that when issuing a new release, real-time information is crucial. So, let's see how you can use Soundcharts to stay tuned for the release performance over time.

First, if the release is not out in the stores yet, you can submit a form to let us know about it so that we'll proactively track the release on air. More information about this here.

Then, there are 2 ways of setting up alerts: (i) on the song page or (ii) on the artist page if you're trying to monitor all activity for several songs simultaneously, plus social activity.

Setting up song updates

Stay informed about the latest song performance information as soon - as the song charts or enters any playlist.

  • Click on Manage notifications

  • Choose your ideal email update settings. You have 3 options - Charts alerts, Playlists alerts, and Weekly Reports.

▶️ Chart Alerts: updates for new peak positions (by country, platform, and chart type)

▶️ Playlists Alerts: updates for new entries (by country, platform, and playlist type)

▶️ Weekly Reports: artist update reports sent to your mailbox, on the days of your choice

The weekly report contains Airplay, Chart and Playlist performance highlights; focusing on the countries and platforms you're most interested in.

Setting up artist updates

A release can also impact the artist's audience, charts, playlists, and airplay. You can now track the artist's performance across different channels, platforms, and countries even when you are not behind your computer! Just as for the song notifications:

  • Click on Manage notifications

  • Choose your ideal email update settings. You have 3 options - Charts alerts, Playlists alerts, and Weekly Reports.

    • Charts & Playlists alerts offer the same parameters as for song notifications.

    • Artists' Weekly reports contain Audience, Airplay, and Playlist highlights.
