The Live feed enables you to monitor an artist's airplay precisely and in real time. It is an extended version of the cumulative table. While the Cumulative table offers an aggregated view of an artist's song plays, the Live feed lets you dive into a song's latest playsEach row equals a unique spin: if a track receives 4 plays on a radio station, it will appear 4 times in the Live feed but only once in the Cumulative table.

Here is how to read the Live feed table you can find in the airplay section of an artist profile:

  • The Song column corresponds to the track that has received plays.

  • The Station column is the radio station that played that track.

  • The Social reach column is the sum of followers across the radio station‘s official accounts (Instagram, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube).

  • The Date/hour column corresponds to the last time the station played that track. Hours are on the time zones the stations are on.

  • The Duration column is how long the track has been played for that play.

  • The Country column is the country that the radio station comes from.

  • The Time zone column corresponds to the station's time zone.

You can click on any entry from that table to access the right panel to go the extra mile. This panel offers complementary information on that radio play, such as release date, record label, past plays on that radio station, etc.

🏆 Champion Tips 🏆

  • You can select a country on this page by clicking on the scrolling menu on the top right of the table. This way, you'll be able to see results only from the country you chose.

  • Click on the box that says Show plays under 30 seconds to ensure you keep track of every single play and get the neighboring rights you should receive.

  • Export the columns into a CSV file to incorporate them into your documents (what you choose to see on your dashboard is what you get in your CSV file).

  • Sort by country or date/hour by clicking the arrows 🔻 at the top of the table, or search for a specific song or station by clicking the magnifying glass 🔍
