Luminate Music Registration: Add entries to the CONNECT database

Music Registration: Add entries to our database

Luminate tracks music streaming and sales data. All musical entities — artists, songs and album releases — must be registered in our database with a minimum amount of metadata in order to be included in CONNECT.


Many database entries are created automatically when reporters submit activity data and metadata. But some items still need to be registered individually. Use the forms linked below to register music.





Back to Registration and Reporting


Register music

We accept submissions for Recordings, Products and Artists. Expect registration to take 3 business days. If your entity does not appear in our database after 3 business days, review our registration troubleshooting guide.

Alert
Register all products and recordings at least one week before street date to enable day-one tracking.



Recording (ISRC) registration 

Complete the Luminate ISRC Registration form to register a unique recording of a song.

Info
Most ISRC data comes to us from DSPs and labels during regular reporting. If we've started tracking streams or song sales for an ISRC, it's "in the system" already, with no separate registration needed. 



Product (ICPN) registration 
Complete the Luminate Title Registration form to register digital or physical albums, singles and EPs at the product (barcode) level. You can register a title using a UPC or EAN.
Info
All music products must be individually registered with ICPNs to be tracked in CONNECT.



Artist registration

Complete the Luminate Artist Registration form to add artists to our database. Certain metadata fields, like country of origin and genre, are required. At least one registered ISRC is required. An ISNI for the artist is highly encouraged.



Airplay (radio) registration

We receive Airplay data through our partnership with Mediabase. Use the Mediabase New Music Registration form to submit songs for Airplay tracking. 


NotesFor best results, review the Title Guidelines for recording, product and artist name submission. 





Submit a correction

Report metadata errors and request data corrections by submitting a Help ticket directly from the CONNECT platform. Click the ? icon at the bottom left of the screen to open the Help menu. 


You may also use this process to request merges for duplicate artists, ISRCs and ICPNs.
