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.
