MusicDatak Research Methodology

1. Your Target is Generated

Each platform has state-of-the-art algorithms built for music recommendations and targeted advertising – the backbone of its business and the reason for their success.

MusicDatak automatically generates a specific equation per radio station according to its demographics, location, gender, and strategy.

This unique and proprietary formula aggregates data from platforms and social networks by balancing age range, gender, music format, music types, and location.

2. Your Hits are Validated

Your station's complete active library is used to generate a unique fingerprint composed of your granular music texture and your station's mood, emotions, and music genres.

The tracks with the most activity from your target are validated using your StationFingerprint®.

Since music programming is constantly evolving, the team enhances its database with radio expertise and emotional intelligence.

3. Your Hits are Scored

Each platform collects data on all user activity (while maintaining privacy protection). Highly streamed and shared tracks are assigned higher scores and top placements in rankings, playlists, and recommendations.

MusicDatak's unique formula for your station normalizes rankings from each platform to score your hits according to what your audience is currently into.

This is not just about algorithms; it's about infusing human emotional intelligence and Samuel's proven expertise into every analysis, transforming your radio station's data into actionable insights.

Hello, I'm Samuel Zniber, CEO and founder of MUSICDATAK.

Today, I'm excited to share with you the innovative methodology that's revolutionizing the way radio stations curate their playlists. Let's dive into how MUSICDATAK is transforming music programming with its cutting-edge approach.

Our first step revolves around a unique target generation process.

Each radio station receives a bespoke equation, meticulously crafted to align with its specific demographics, location, gender, and strategic direction. This is where our proprietary formula comes into play, aggregating a wealth of data from various platforms and social networks. We meticulously balance factors such as age range, gender, music types, and location to create a tailored solution for each station. This state-of-the-art algorithm isn't just a tool; it's the backbone of our business, underpinning our success and driving the industry forward.

The next phase involves validating your hits.

This process utilizes your station's complete active library to create something truly unique: your StationFingerprint®. This distinctive fingerprint is composed of your station's granular music texture, encompassing mood, emotions, and genres. It's a reflection of your station's identity, distilled into an actionable format. The tracks that resonate the most with your target audience are then validated through this fingerprint. And because music programming is an ever-evolving art, our team continuously enriches our database with radio expertise and emotional intelligence, ensuring that your content remains fresh and relevant.

Finally, we score your hits.

Each platform we collaborate with collects extensive data on user activity, always with a keen eye on privacy protection. Tracks that enjoy high streaming numbers and shares are given prominence, achieving higher scores and topping rankings, playlists, and recommendations.
Our unique scoring formula for your station normalizes these rankings from each platform. This means that the hits you play are not just popular – they're precisely what your audience is currently into.

This methodology isn't just about playing music; it's about understanding the pulse of your audience and delivering exactly what they want to hear. At MUSICDATAK, we're not just keeping up with the times; we're setting the pace for the future of radio music programming. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and lead in this exciting journey of music and technology.

If you're building playlists for a business or a radio station, one of the essential elements that is an easy oversight is ensuring the music you're picking matches your target's taste (Not always your taste). We all believe we have the best taste, but seeing accurate data takes away bias and gives you the edge of ensuring you're not playing duds.

As a Music Director, I always wanted more from research regarding REAL-WORLD data…. In this day and age, technology is doing some incredible things, and this is a great and affordable option that WILL give you an edge over competitors. So much of our lives are online, and this program taps into that.
