Music registration: Add entries to our database

Music registration: Add entries to our database

Luminate tracks music streaming and sales data. All musical entities—artists, songs and releases—must be registered with us in order to appear as a Dashboard in the CONNECT database and be included in our music consumption reporting.

Use the forms below to register entities.

Back to How it Works

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.



Recording (ISRC) registration 

Complete the Luminate ISRC Registration form to register a unique recording of a song. Every ISRC must be registered separately. 



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.



Artist registration

Complete the Luminate Artist Registration form to add artists to our database. An ISNI identifier is preferred, but not required.



Airplay (radio) registration

We track Airplay data in partnership with Mediabase. Use the Mediabase New Music Registration form to submit songs for Airplay tracking. Note that Airplay data is tracked at the song level only. 




Submit a correction

Report metadata errors and request data corrections by submitting a Help ticket directly from the platform. You can also use this process to request merges for duplicate ISRCs and ICPNs.
