Music Virality
Chart prediction grounded in listener and creator behavior.
Identify tracks that will hit before they chart. Surface signal from streaming, short video, and creator platforms in one calibrated index.
How it works
The exact thing your team is trying to call.
Probability a track enters the top 200 within 28 days of release, with a separate forecast for short-video adoption velocity.
- Cross-platform virality index spanning DSPs and short video
- Creator-led adoption tracking by audience size tier
- Genre-conditioned analog matching
- Geographic spread prediction by market
- Sync and licensing fit scoring

Use cases
What teams actually do with Music Virality.
Greenlight reviews for music virality
Run scoring on a portfolio of candidates and surface the ones whose music virality signals diverge most from their internal narrative.
Continuous monitoring
Subscribe via webhook and receive a payload only when the score crosses a threshold you defined. No dashboards required.
Cross-vertical analysis
Pull the same entity into other verticals to see whether the signals agree or disagree. Disagreement is often where the alpha is.
Backtesting before commitment
Score the last 24 months of decisions against the model and compare hit rates. The calibration_bucket field tells you how much to trust the model in the bands you care about.
API
Calibrated, explainable, ready for production.
Every prediction ships with a confidence interval, the top feature drivers explaining the score, and the five nearest historical analogs the model leaned on.
Available via REST and a typed TypeScript SDK.

How Music Virality differs from what is already out there.
| Vendor | How SignalGrid is different |
