One year after launching ESNS Radar, ESNS is proud to announce the imminent release of the first edition of The state of European music: Report 2022 – a digital publication that provides unprecedented insight into the state of European music. 

Data gems & case studies:
Following the tracking of artists and developing an open-access database, ESNS has taken the time to reflect on what this new resource can reveal – and presents examples of how to delve into open-access ESNS Radar and the delegates-only ESNS Analytics to mine data gems. The report includes features on the latest border-breaking data on European artists by journalist Menno Visser, chart and booking results of ESNS Exchange artists by IQ Magazine Editor Gordon Masson, examinations on European music export programmed by EMEE Research Coordinator Virgo Sillamma, a reflection on the industry’s green transitions by A Greener Festival Director Teresa Moore and two ESNS Analytics case studies, on the trajectory of Wet Leg by Music Week Features Editor Ben Homewood and Personal Trainer by music professional Erwin Blom.

The ESNS Radar Report – The state of European music is only available for ESNS delegates and can be accessed through esns.nl

About ESNS Radar & ESNS Analytics
ESNS Radar is the charts tool developed by ESNS in partnership with Creative Europe. ESNS Radar is powered by Soundcharts. All data presented by ESNS Radar is tracked by Soundcharts, with the exception of the festival bookings, which are done by ESNS. ESNS Radar entails a European Chart, an Emerging European Chart for emerging talent, and the ESNS chart with acts from three years of the festival’s line-up. All charts are based on airplay of over 60 Euroradio stations, plus streaming data compiled out of Spotify and YouTube. Recently a TikTok chart has been added to ESNS Radar, giving an overview of the most popular European artists on TikTok. Besides that, bookers and other professionals are given the opportunity to see what else is happening in the music industry, through an extensive booking overview of the latest line-ups of over 130 festivals which are a part of ESNS Exchange programme. ESNS Radar is an open platform for all music fans to explore the trending European repertoire.
