The IMMERSION Database: Powerful analytics for the songs that land in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100:

The IMMERSION database is a database of hit songwriting decisions, compositional characteristics, production techniques and much more. Updated weekly, IMMERSION is a fully interactive database housing data on the key compositional characteristics and industry trends for songs in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.

The database boasts over 200 searchable criteria and provides users with the ability to search for songs based on criteria such as compositional characteristics and production techniques using filters such as date range, peak chart position, and genre, to name a few. It also offers the ability to search for artist and songwriter performance and view compositional and industry trends quarter over quarter and year over year.

  • Stay ahead of the curve by spotting current, evolving, and waning trends.
  • Supplement sales, streaming, engagement, and radio airplay data with insight into the compositional trends behind those numbers.
  • Gain insight into what current hit songs have in common – and what is setting them apart.
  • Identify the key ingredients that are making current chart-topping songs “tick.”
  • Improve communication between creative executives / A&R’s and writers.
  • Quantify gut feelings for hit songwriting trends with factual data.
  • Benchmark new songs and artists against those with a proven track record.

Search results are displayed as charts, tables, line graphs and bar graphs with data points linking to the songs behind the trend. Each song is clickable as well, and takes the reader to an abridged deconstruction detailing the song’s key characteristics.
