The easiest way to see if your music is being played on the radio – ReverbNation Blog

Who’s playing your music on the radio?

Today I’m gonna show you the easiest way to figure out if DJs are playing your songs on the radio. 

And not only if your songs are getting spun, but also how often, and on which stations.

Tracking your radio spins around the world used to be difficult.

Now it’s super convenient, thanks to… Apple Music for Artists?

Apple Music for Artists may sound like a strange place to find data on terrestrial and internet radio spins.

But in an effort to paint a more complete picture of your listening engagement around the world, Apple Music now monitors over 40,000 radio stations in over 200 countries. 

Your Apple Music for Artists dashboard now shows the following global listening activity:

Apple Music streams, Shazams, and Radio spins.

How to check which radio stations spin your tracks:

1. Open the Apple Music for Artists app.

2. Once logged in, scroll down to the “Top Radio Spins” section.

NOTE: An alternate way to find this data is to open up a particular song, and hit the “Radio Spins” tab.

3. You’ll see a list of stations who’ve played your music, as well as the amount of spins.

4. To see what radio spins happened within a specific timeframe, use the toggle in the top right.

5. Make note of who is playing your music, and thank them!

In my case, this track doesn’t seem to be charging up the charts. But.. it’s still cool to see who’s playing my music.

Whenever you find a station giving your music repeated spins, Google it, go to the website, find their contact info and social links.

Tag them, thank them, show them that you noticed and appreciate their support. 

At minimum, it’s nice to show you’re aware that they’ve helped your music reach new listeners.

Even better if your show of appreciation keeps that track in rotation to reach even more potential fans!
