Soundcharts is a French analytics service that provides artists, labels, and festival programmers with data on radio airplay, Spotify playlist placements, and social metrics. The platform uses global servers that listen to hundreds of radio stations and music‑recognition technology to convert audio into structured data, and it indexes public Spotify playlists via the Spotify API. It also tracks Facebook likes and offers breakdowns by country and growth metrics to help users spot trends. Soundcharts is positioned as a one‑stop shop so customers can compare artists, monitor competitors, and identify emerging trends without relying solely on traditional airplay data. The company sells access via recurring subscriptions and has signed up 250 companies, including employees from Universal Music, Sony Music, and Warner Music, as well as independent labels, publishers, and management firms. Founder and CEO David Weiszfeld said the company wants to be “the Bloomberg Finance of music” and to level the playing field versus costly incumbents like Nielsen. The company recently raised $3.1 million (€2.65M) from Alven Capital, Kima Ventures, and Global Founders Capital.
