Nielsen provides charts and insights for both music broadcast and sales. We capture in excess of 100 million song performances on more than 2,000 radio, satellite radio, network radio, streaming and music video channels across Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States. Nielsen’s tracking of music sales data is used by all major and most independent record companies as well as distribution companies, artist managers, booking agents, concert promoters, performing rights organizations, government agencies, venue owners, traditional retailers, online retailers, and digital delivery companies. Nielsen’s data on airplay and sales is featured weekly in Billboard magazine and is widely cited by numerous publications and broadcasters as the standard for music industry measurement.

For home video, Nielsen seamlessly integrates point-of-sale (POS) data to provide a comprehensive view of the DVD and Blu-Ray sell-through business.
