Radio Spins in Apple Music for Artists & Radio Spins in Apple Music Partner Program
Apple Music has added new radio monitoring features to its Apple Music for Artists dashboard and recently-launched Partner Program toolkit.
On the dashboard, artists and their team members can now see when and where their music is being played on over 40,000 radio stations throughout more than 200 countries and regions. Using Shazam’s technology, Apple Music is monitoring terrestrial and digital stations outside of itself.
Radio Spins has been added as one of the key metrics on the Overview page. The data can be further broken down by song, by the station that is playing the artist’s music, by location data (where available) or top radio spins by song. The Trends page filters include spins by song, continent, country or region and city. If an artist selects spins by song, the filters consist of location, city and station. Additionally, Radio Spins are available in the KPI hovers on the Places map and the stats table below the map as well as in the table on the Music page.

The Apple Music Partner Program provides access to new tools to break the next talent, spot emerging trends and uncover new insights about a record label’s or distributor’s content. Offered as APIs for a limited number of U.S. labels and distributors that distribute directly to Apple Music, these tools include global radio airplay monitoring with Radio Spins, deeper access to Apple Music charts with Chart Explorer, an authoritative source of music information with Apple Music Atlas and more.
The premium Radio Spins experience is now available as Web UI, allowing anyone across participating industry partners in their preferred mode to gain insight into global radio airplay. This tool gives industry partners access to data for any music played on the radio from over 40,000 terrestrial and digital stations across 200 countries and regions all in one place. Users can explore a global picture of industry spin data across countries by market, daypart, station, artist and song, and create custom airplay reports.
