Activity reported by DSPs
Digital providers can report the following types of consumption data. Not every activity applies to every DSP. Refer to Activity Types for definitions.
Streaming breakouts
| Commercial Model | Premium / | Ad-Supported |
| Service Type | On-Demand / | Programmed |
| Content Type | Audio / | Video |
Video streaming breakouts
| Creation Category | Official | / Song UGC | / Non-Song UGC |
Song Sales
Digital song sales are reported as totals only, with no breakouts.
Metadata
DSPs also send metadata and platform-specific ID codes for ISRCs and artists. Platform IDs and metadata submissions help us validate, disambiguate and group entities in the CONNECT database.
Digital provider lists
CONNECT receives direct consumption data from major streaming platforms in the U.S. and worldwide.
Reporting requirements
We add providers that register with us and meet our criteria for streaming data reporting.
We add countries when we receive verified consumption data from at least 3 DSPs.
The below lists are representative, not exhaustive. Full provider lists are subject to change. Platform and data availability may vary between countries. Not all worldwide DSPs report country-level data.
