What is the Catalog Tab?
The Catalog tab hosts our newest AMP feature, Track Reporting, which offers the most comprehensive insight into a track’s performance on Pandora that has ever been available. AMP users with access to an artist page can see total Streams, Radio Spins, Interactive Plays, Station Adds, and Thumbs Up for each track right on the Catalog tab, where they’ve previously been going to see all the tracks they’ve delivered to Pandora.
What Data is available VIA the CATALOG tab?
You can click a track to dive into a reporting page dedicated to that track, featuring a line graph for daily trends as well as a “source breakdown” section that shows which programs a track is being streamed on. All metrics are available with custom date ranges as well. Together, these features offer a series of improvements on the way Pandora data has been presented in Next Big Sound, and ultimately eliminates the need for users to navigate to a separate platform for reporting.
How does track reporting work?
Navigate to the Catalog tab and you’ll see the tracks you have spinning on Pandora. Also displayed will be lifetime streams, a share link, streams this month, last month, percent change, release date as well as a confirmation that the track qualifies for Premium Access.
Click on a track, and it will open a details page specifically designed for that track. The details page displays high level data (streams, station adds, etc.):
It also displays a line graph for daily trends:
Scroll further down and you’ll find “Source Categories”, which can be seen in the pie chart in the image below. Source categories organize sources into three categories: “Algorithmic”, “Editorial”, and “Organic”. Here’s a breakdown of the types of sources that fall into each category:
“Algorithmic” sources are those that are primarily driven by recommendation algorithms. This includes other artists’ radio stations and autoplay from any source
“Editorial” sources include genre stations and editorial playlists and mixtapes
“Organic” sources are those that are primarily driven by listener choice: an artist’s own radio station or an artist’s own track station
By clicking a section of the pie chart, you’ll be able to see the top ten sources in each category, which can be sorted by streams, thumbs or listeners.
