You worked hard to get your music on radio and streaming platforms. But if those plays aren't tracked or credited, you may be missing money, momentum, and recognition.

That’s why at In Da Streets Radio, we go beyond airplay. We help artists secure the data they need to prove their progress and power their business.

What Are Streaming Reports and Spins?

A “spin” is any time your song plays on a radio station — digital or FM. A “stream” is a play on a platform like Apple Music, Spotify, or Tidal.

A streaming or spin report is a document that logs how many times your music was played, when, and where.

These reports are crucial for:

• Royalty payments from PROs (like BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)
• Validating chart placements
• Applying for grants, sync licensing, and sponsorships
• Building trust with booking agents, labels, and partners

If no one is reporting your music plays, your growth becomes invisible.

Why Many Indie Artists Get Overlooked

Major artists have label teams handling their reporting. Indie artists often rely on the station or platform to do it — but many small or unregistered stations don’t submit reports to the right agencies.

This leads to:

• Missed royalties
• Uncredited airplay
• Loss of leverage in negotiations
• Incomplete performance history

In short, if you're not getting reports, you're missing opportunities.

How to Use Your Spin Data

Once you receive a report from us, here's how to use it:

• Send it to your PRO (BMI, ASCAP, etc.) for royalty claims
• Include it in your EPK to show media traction
• Share screenshots or key numbers on social media to prove buzz
• Use it as evidence when applying for performance slots, grants, or label meetings

Remember: your play count means power when it’s documented.

How to Get Your Spins Tracked

Follow these steps:

1. Submit a clean, high-quality track through our official submission portal
2. Register your song with your PRO (and get an ISRC code)
3. After your music airs, request a Spin Report from our team
4. Track your performance over time using our Spin Summary Reports

This is how you turn momentum into data — and data into deals.

Final Word

Streams and spins are the new currency in the music business — but only if they’re tracked. Without reporting, your progress stays underground.

At In Da Streets Radio, we make sure your music makes noise in the right places — and on paper.
