About Sales and Trends

Sales and Trends is a data visualization tool that allows you to view the performance of your content on Apple Music and the iTunes Store.

There are four main areas in Sales and Trends:

Sales and Trends reports include all transactions of the day, and are provided so that you can get next-day data on your business. Units and proceeds from Sales and Trends are only estimates and should not be considered final. For finalized information about your payments, go to Payments and Financial Reports.

Note: iTunes Connect users must have the Admin, Finance, Legal, or Sales role to access Sales and Trends, or to download reports. This ensures that only authorized users have access to your company’s confidential information. To manage access, go to Users and Roles.

Overview

About Overview

Overview summarizes your streaming and sales activity on a single page, enabling you to quickly view the performance of your songs on Apple Music and the iTunes Store.

By default, you will see data for the past month, detailing your total streams, sales units, proceeds, and pre-orders. To view data for an earlier 30 day period, select a custom end date.

Percentages in green or red show the change month-over-month. For example, if you select an end date of May 12, the percentage change will compare your total streams from Apr 13 to May 12 to your total streams between March 13 to Apr 12.

Overview

Compare sales units and streaming equivalents

Understanding Units

Reports are designed to provide information about the activity of your content on the iTunes Store. This can result in many lines for a given product. For each product with an Apple ID and vendor ID, units are split into:

  • Storefront country code

  • Sales and refunds

  • Product type

  • Price

  • Promo code

  • Pre-order

  • Asset flavor

Examples

Below are example descriptions of how units are grouped and displayed in preview and in the downloaded reports.

  • Example 1: If you have one product and you are selling the product in the U.S., you will see one row (for U.S. sales). This example does not include refunds, price changes, or promo codes for that period.

  • Example 2: If you are selling 30 products in the U.S., and ten of the products have refunds, the preview and the downloaded report will have 40 rows. You will see one row for sales and one row for refunds.

  • Example 3: If you are selling 30 products in the U.S., and five products have a price change in the middle of the week, your full report and your previews will have 35 rows. You will see two lines per title with a price change.

  • Example 4: If you are selling 20 products in the U.S., and you have three products launching that were previously pre-orders during the week, your preview and downloaded report will contain 23 rows. You will see two lines per title with pre-order (marked with P) transactions separated from normal transactions.
