Did you know you could also monitor the radio play of any song before its commercial release on DSPs?

But to do so, we need the audio file and ISRC to activate tracking. Indeed, to record a spin, we use fingerprint technology. It recognizes a song based on its audio characteristic and matches it against a central database.

If it finds one, we associate the metadata with the play timecode and store it with the other plays we identify. Hence, you can send the information about your upcoming release, and we will do what’s needed to start monitoring its airplay.

Send the release information here.

Once this is done, you can find out how to monitor a release on Soundcharts here.
