PCMUSICENT: Empowering Artists with Industry-Standard Reporting

PCMUSICENT is proud to serve as a BDS Reporting Station, playing a critical role in shaping the airplay music charts for Billboard, Airplay Monitor, and Canadian Music Network magazines.

What is BDS radio?

Formerly Nielsen BDS, BDS radio is the premier aggregator of airplay data, recording over 100 million song detections annually across:

• 1,600+ radio stations
• Satellite radio networks
• Cable music channels
  in 140+ U.S. markets, including Puerto Rico, and 30 Canadian markets.

How Does This Benefit Artists and Labels?

BDS radio’s airplay reports are a goldmine for industry professionals, including:

• Radio executives
• Record label leaders
• Publishers and promoters
• Retailers and artist managers

By appearing on airplay charts or in these reports, you can gain exposure to influential insiders who are constantly scouting for rising talent and trending music. This visibility can lead to transformative opportunities for your career or label.

Ready to Submit Your Song? Here’s What You Need:

1. Soundscan Registration

• Your single must be registered with Soundscan for tracking sales and performance.

1. ISRC and UPC Codes

• These codes are essential for tracking and cataloging your music. (PCMUSICENT can assist if you don’t already have these.)

1. High-Quality MP3 Files

• Ensure your tracks are stripped of artwork and ID3 META Data. (We can help prepare your files to meet industry standards.)

Important Notes

Submitting incomplete or unregistered songs means your plays will not be charted. To maximize your visibility and qualify for charting, ensure all requirements are met before submission.

PCMUSICENT is committed to guiding artists and labels through this process, helping you unlock your potential and achieve greater success. Let us handle the technicalities so you can focus on your music.
