Credits
Who actually wrote it.
Songwriting and production credits, traced through public registration data rather than through liner notes or a press release. Appearing on a record and writing it are different facts, and only one of them is printed on the cover.

What this beat covers
This week's singles, and who wrote them
Weekly. Who appeared, who wrote, who did neither, and the anomalies the registration data gives away.
One album, every credit
Per major release. Every writer, every split, first-time collaborators, and who lost a credit compared to the last record.
Who actually wrote the quarter
Quarterly aggregate. Producer concentration, writer counts, and the share of the chart carrying uncredited co-writes.
When the data shows something wrong
No cadence. Fires only when a registration pattern will not explain itself.
Nothing published yet. This hub fills as the beat runs, and the figures above update with it rather than being restated per post.
Free, and actually useful
The registration checklist that keeps your royalties out of the black box
Most unmatched royalties are a registration problem, and registration is the part an artist controls without a lawyer. This is the checklist: every place a work has to be registered, every field that causes a mismatch, and the order to do it in.
No list exists yet. It opens with the first study, and the checklist goes out to everyone waiting on day one.
