Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for use with a digital media content environment, such as a music streaming service, for providing real-time media consumption data. As users interact with the digital media content environment using media devices, usage data that describes the characteristics of media content being streamed for playing by the media devices, is collected by a counter processor, and associated with buckets indicative of periods of time within a plurality of time windows. The usage data associated with each time window can be processed, for example to generate real-time rankings, or other type of media consumption data, for use by a reporting server. The real-time media consumption data which is reported can be used, for example, by artists, managers, media content publishers, or other type of content providers, to evaluate fast-changing media consumption trends.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method of using attribution tracking for off-platform content promotion, for use in media content or other computing environments. A media campaign can be associated with a promoted content link (e.g., a URL) for use on a publisher web site. When the promoted content link is selected, for example by a user of a client media device, the user/device can be redirected to the media content environment. Client activity data can be logged to provide one or more campaign, content promoter, artist, date, user identification, or other data, which can be recorded as a promotion event. In response to the user/device performing additional downstream actions with regard to the promoted content, downstream events can be generated, and data pipelines used in combination with attribution windows, to correlate attribution of the downstream actions with particular media campaigns or content promoters.
