The Music Network launches new cross-platform music chart and hit predictor

Independent publisher The Music Network has launched a new chart it says is aimed at amongst other things to ‘focus marketing’, looking at the most played and bought artists and singles each week.

The new Australian Singles Report is the first in Australia to combine radio and streaming plays, digital sales and video plays, while the service also analyses predictive data from streaming services like Spotify, Pandora and Shazam to predict future hits.

Publisher Mark Dalgleish said: “Charts data is useful for identifying trends and making decisions on when and where to release or play a single, book a tour, or focus marketing.
