Data Sources: Provider availability grids

Data Sources: Provider availability grids

The Data Sources feature tracks daily data deliveries from the providers that report consumption to Luminate. It lists providers by activity type, location and the most recent date of reported data. 


Open Data Sources from the sidebar menu.





Back to User Guide 

View providers for each activity 

Choose STREAMS, SONG SALES or PRODUCT SALES to see a provider grid for each activity in your location(s).

Scroll down to see all providers and countries.
STREAMS
SONG SALES
PRODUCT SALES
STREAMS


Streaming data deliveries are listed by provider, content type and location. 

SONG SALES


Song sale data deliveries are listed by provider and location (including worldwide), with no additional breakouts. 

PRODUCT SALES


Product sales data deliveries are listed by provider, store strata, purchase method and distribution channel. We track product sales in the U.S. and Canada only.

First and Last Report Date
First Report Date is the earliest date for which we received data from a provider for the listed activity and location.

Last Report Date indicates the latest data delivery as of the most recent date for which CONNECT has released complete data. 


Check data availability by Last Report Date
Usually, the most recent date of available CONNECT data is 2-3 days before today's date. To confirm, go to any Dashboard, then open the Time Frame menu. 


The current week is highlighted; within it, all dates with published data are bold, with subsequent (future) dates grayed out.

If the last bold date on the calendar aligns with Last Report Date in the Data Sources grid, that provider is up to date. 

 


Filter and sort provider data

Start typing in the search bar at top left to filter data deliveries by provider, breakout or location. 





The grid will update automatically with results.




Export provider grids

Use the dropdown at top right to export a Data Sources grid in Excel format.






Data Sources FAQs 

Why are some providers listed twice for the same location?

We list providers separately for each reported activity type/breakout. A provider might be repeated to indicate that the same provider sent both Audio and Video streams, Digital and Physical sales, etc. 



Why can’t I see the latest report date (i.e. today/yesterday)? 

See above (First and Last Report Date). The Data Sources grid indicates the latest data delivery included in the last complete CONNECT data release.



Will you include Airplay data sources? 

Yes. We will eventually include Airplay format panels as a Data Sources tab. (For now, refer to those here).



Can I see the actual reported figures by provider?

No. Some provider-level consumption data is available to rights holders on Dashboards.
