Tunefind Announces New Partnership with The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard

Leading Site for TV Music Discovery to Contribute to Monthly ‘Top TV Songs Chart’

NEW YORK – May 30, 2017 – Tunefind, the most comprehensive and accurate source for tracking music syncs on TV, today announced a new partnership with The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group to lend its robust and comprehensive data to the monthly Top TV Songs Chart.

“We've spent the past 12 years helping to connect viewers with the music they've heard on their favorite TV shows, and have seen first-hand the power of a sync to drive music sales and even launch an artist's career,” says Amanda Byers of Tunefind. “We're excited to partner with The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard to bring our expertise to showcase the most popular songs heard on TV.”

“TV has become an important source of music discovery, often helping artists get mainstream recognition and exposure,” says Silvio Pietroluongo, THR & Billboard’s Vice President of Charts & Data Development. “The Top TV Songs shines a light on those acts whose repertoire continues to make a connection and we are thrilled to be able to utilize Tunefind’s data to help present an authoritative monthly ranking of the songs featured in television programs.”

On the most recent Top TV Songs for April, Lord Huron led the list with “The Night We Met,” featured in Netflix’s new hit series 13 Reasons Why, and is joined within the top five of the chart by a plethora of tracks from the series, including songs from Selena Gomez, Vance Joy and Sir Sly. The ranking is based on song and TV show data provided by Tunefind and compiled using a formula blending respective Shazam tags, as well as sales and streaming information tracked by Nielsen Music.

“The Music Supervisors who source and license the songs featured on TV do a phenomenal job of finding music that really enhances the storytelling, and that resonates with viewers,” says Byers. “We’re excited to partner with THR & Billboard to highlight those powerful music moments and the artists who help make them happen.”

The Top TV Songs Chart is published monthly on both hollywoodreporter.com and billboard.com.
