Consumption
Overview
The Consumption Analytics tab displays how audiences are using your content—primarily focusing on streams and downloads. You can see total stream counts, selected (filtered) streams, and a breakdown by DSP. This is the go-to page for a high-level view of your catalog’s performance and to identify which platforms drive the most traffic.
Feature Breakdown:
Total Streams vs. Selected Streams: Compare your overall performance vs. filtered views.
Platform Breakdown: Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, and more.
Album & Track Downloads: Identify how many downloads occur in a given period.
Customize Date Range & Granularity: Switch between daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly data.
Exclude platforms like TikTok.
Who Is It For?
Label Managers wanting to see which artists are trending upward or downward in terms of raw consumption.
Artist Teams needing a quick snapshot of daily or weekly performance for promotional planning.
Real-World Scenario #1 A label manager wants to measure streams after a major playlist placement. Using the Consumption tab, they filter by date range (the playlist’s active period) and watch for spikes in daily streams.
Real-World Scenario #2 An artist checks monthly track downloads. They notice Apple Music has more album downloads than other services, prompting them to focus on Apple Music-specific promotions.
