  • Insight into how their playlists differentiate territory to territory and where those songs are positioned in the playlists

  • Weekly data to cover music industry standard release weeks to enable artists to better monitor week-to-week success
  • An Apple Music Toolbox allowing them to create embeddable widgets, players and badges that lead fans to your artist page, top songs, and playlists
