2020Luminate provides verified music, film and television data and analytics for the entertainment industry.
Luminate's product suite centers on music analytics through its CONNECT platform, alongside film and TV metadata, streaming viewership measurement, and Luminate Insights research studies and consulting. The company delivers this data through the CONNECT interface, APIs, AWS S3 and ADX bulk feeds, and desktop and mobile applications.
In May 2023 Luminate launched a new multi-cloud data platform built on AWS and Snowflake, consolidating its global music, film, and television capabilities on infrastructure designed for large-scale entertainment data workloads.
Luminate is extending its data footprint beyond its core North American market, expanding coverage to more than 60 markets and, in November 2025, partnering with Tencent Music Entertainment's TME Chart to bring QQ Music, Kugou, Kuwo, and JOOX streaming and sales data into its global dataset for the first time. This kind of partnership deepens the company's position as a cross-market reference for music consumption measurement.
In August 2026 Luminate unveiled a global framework to identify and measure AI-generated music, addressing one of the industry's fastest-moving measurement challenges, while its film, TV, and streaming analytics - including Streaming Viewership measurement and a role as Golden Globes official data partner - point to continued growth in cross-screen entertainment intelligence.
Luminate brings more than 30 years of chart-history credibility to entertainment analytics, having powered the Billboard charts and accumulated 23 trillion music data points from over 500 authorized partners, with data verified rather than scraped or crowdsourced. Its film and TV metadata covers more than 1.5 million talent records, including a unique DE&I dataset, giving buyers a depth of entertainment-industry coverage few rivals match.
The company pairs this proprietary data asset with the backing of Penske Media and Eldridge, whose media properties and industry relationships reinforce Luminate's position as an independent, neutral data provider for labels, studios, streaming platforms, and investors.
