Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methods for evaluating song play performance of broadcast music. The analytics system comprises one or more data processing resources. The data processing resource receives transaction records that are related to songs being played on radio stations. The transaction records comprise a song identifier, play location, play time, and additional metadata. A user can generate a series of dashboards that comprise indicia or graphics that inform song play performance, radio station airplay performance and insights, generate airplay recommendations and display other information. In an exemplary embodiment, airplay recommendations can include informing the user of song play locations, where a possible space on a radio station's playlist or panel exists. Such possible spaces are opportunities where the user can seek to increase the number of song plays for a desired song at a radio station thus improving the song's rank.
