Frequently Asked Questions

Digital Music Database (DMDB) is an advanced music analytics platform that tracks over 5 million artists across streaming, radio, and social media. We provide real-time data on streams, radio airplay, audience demographics, engagement rates, and brand affinity scores.

We collect streaming data from all major DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc.), radio airplay from 150,000+ global stations, social media engagement metrics, audience demographics, and brand affinity signals.

DSP stands for Digital Service Providers, such as Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Tidal, Amazon Music, and similar platforms.

Our data feeds update in real-time or near real-time depending on platform access. Social and streaming metrics typically refresh every 24 hours.

Brand Affinity is a score representing how closely an artist's audience aligns with a brand's target demographic. It is calculated from audience age, gender, geographic distribution, engagement patterns, and lifestyle signals.

Engagement Rate is the percentage of an artist's followers who actively interact (like, comment, share) with their content. A higher ER typically indicates a more loyal and active fanbase.
